    Your post wasn't 100% clear, but you also do need to remove the
signatures, etc. -- before you uudecode it, it should be one long stream
of unintelligible lines (M67fvKJH36532...whatever.) You ca search for
lines that don't fit by doing /^[^M]<cr> in vi; the only such lines
(that don't start with M) should be the "begin" and "end" lines, and
one or two shorter lines right before the "end" line.
