Subject: Does .mailcap support uudecode?

Is it possible to add a line to the .mailcap file so that if a uuencoded
file is sent as an attachment it will uudecode the file automatically?

Below is the original message from the person I'm trying to help.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

If you're sent a uuencoded file as an attachment (though I don't see
why anyone would use both!), you can (in Pine 3.9x) V (View) the attachment,
then | (Pipe) it to uudecode.
