[comp.mail.misc] Help: uuencoded files are character converted

ofl@oz.rci.dk (Ole Frank Larsen) (03/09/90)

Help, I'm having problems with uuencoded files received from
bitnet sites.

It seems as someone is making a character conversion on all files
I receive from bitnet sites. E.g. "\" (Backslash) is being converted
to "@" (Commercial-at sign), but commercial-at signs are not being converted,
so I end up with a file with too many commecial-at signs.

This does not bother me, when text files is being sent, but uuencoded
files are also garbled, so I can't uudecode them properly.

Have anyone heard of this problem before, and is there a solution? (Don't
suggest that I don't download or receive uuencoded files :-(

Any help will be appreciated.
