change this alias to:
                            cat $* | sed '/^END/,/^BEGIN/d' | uudecode

and then the postings don't have to be in a directory by themselves.
You would concatenate and uudecode them with this command:

        massuud POST*

I call my script file 'catuudec', which seems easier to remember than 'massuud'.
