It looks ugly, but it's actually a convenient way to send pictures (as
long as we don't have too many of them). To view the picture, search the
archives for "viewing pictures" or "viewing attachments" and you'll see
various ways mentioned.

Here's one way:

If you use Windows and have WinZip installed, an easy way to view the
picture is to save the whole message, name it with the ".uue"  extension
on it, and then double click on it. WinZip will run, and you can extract
the picture. Actually in the case of the picture RicB sent, I had to first
edit the message to rename the picture. It had the whole path, and that
confused things when I tried to decode it. I just renamed it to something
like "piano.jpeg", without the whole path name.
