[KLUG Members] Can uuencode pass multiple files

[Bruce Smith]

> I am trying to use the uuencode command to pass multiple files to the mailx command, like this:

I recommend using uuenview.  It's an enhanced uuencode.
It supports sending multiple files via email.

The latest version is on the latest BSware CD in RPM format as an extra.
