UUencode/UUdecode
UUencode/UUdecode is a software utility that converts a binary file
(often a photo or a graphic) to an ASCII (text) file
so that it can be sent as an attachment to an e-mail message or downloaded from a
newsgroup. Since e-mail messages must be text, not binary information,
UUencode disguises non-text files as text so that they can be included in a mail
message. When the message is received, the recipient, or their e-mail program,
runs
UUdecode to convert it to the original file.
