You seem to have the same problem that I had, there's nothing wrong with
the posting really.  The only problem is that the .uu.1, .uu.2, and
.uu.3 files had this nice message at the top of the file telling you to
delete this line and then join it with whatever.  The problem is that
they also had a similar line at the bottom of the file which I failed to
noticed (and I bet you did too).  To the moderatores.  Don't do me any
favours with handy dandy messages that are a pain in the *@#$@# and just
tell me something obvious.  If you want to do me a favour then make a
little shell script that joins the three and uudecodes them.  If you
don't put junk and/or extra newlines at the beginning and end it's much
less painful for us to unpack them.
