This doesn't work for the multi-part uuencoded binaries in
comp.binaries.atari.st. They cannot simply be concatenated, because
each part starts with 'begin part x file.uax', (except the first
part) and end with 'include file.uax' (except the last one). The
'include' is not considered part of the uuencoded data by NewsGrazer,
but the 'begin part' line is. That breaks uudecode. Is there a way
around this, or should I replace uudecode with a shell script that
strips the lines starting with 'begin part'?

And what about articles that arrived in the wrong order? Or cannot be  
sorted properly by subject, because their subjects contain for example:
Subject: file xxx part 1 of 10
Subject: file xxx part 10 of 10
Subject: file xxx part 2 of 10
