   Using an editor remove everything before 'begin' and after 'end' and
   type 'uudecode msgfilename'.  uudecode is probably on the machine
   you're using, but is also available for the Amiga (probably a
   copy on ab20 somewhere).

The edit step isn't necessary, unless there's a bogus begin line in
the file. uudecode is bright enough to find these things.
