: 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).

  Actually, uudecode/encode were made to decode files from mails, so
you don't even have to remove lines before 'begin' and after 'end'.
What would they be there for, else?
