MS Outlook Express and uuencoded attachments (Score 1)

For some versions of OE the string "begin " at the start of a line would cause the remainder of the email to be erroneously interpreted as an attachment. It would prove to be not a valid attachment and so not show up at all.

At first they suggested, in all seriousness, "do not use the word 'begin' in emails". Later they updated the workaround to basically:

• View source on the msg
• Copy contents to Notepad
• Search and replace "begin" at SOL with some other word
• Save file with magic extension
• Import file back into OE
