I too find the current format a pain.  I dewrap all postings on an Amiga
and hand unpicking all the Unix stuff is VERY tiresome.  In comp.binaries.ibm.pc
it is much simplified so that those with Unix facilities can de-shar and those
without don't have much knitting to do.  It would be nice if c.b.a followed
this practice.   Failing this a PD unshar and sed would be very handy, this
seeming to be the minimum to handle the postings.
   (I'm not against Unix,  I like the system very much - on a Unix box!)
