Carl di Stefano:

The Penn email system supports MIME, so there is no problem about
sending binary files attached to messages so long as _your_
system supports MIME (which automatically UU-encodes and decodes
such files).
I get them from time to time. People don't count on it because
MIME is not universally supported, and you have to go find out
whether your system has it.
