I have the same problem on a 785 running Ultrix. The reason being some
UNFRIENDLY mailer somewhere ate the trailing blank on some of the lines.
Sometimes it happens that the last byte on the line is a space, and
some mailer would happily truncate it! JUst edit your uuencoded file by
putting in the space back in at the end of the, oh about 20 or so, lines.
