oops... sorry, I got UU confused with MIME, probably because I've been
pestering, er, reporting bugs to the uudvdos2 author. The latest
version of uudvdos2 is working very well, I have not had any traps at
all. uudvdos2.zip, is at hobbes and on my web page below.
How about running uudeview on news.dat directly? This will extract all
the encoded messages. This is what I do.

Yes, you can do that, but you'll have to learn some REXX. Try the
comp.lang.rexx newsgroup.
/* mypipe.cmd */
do while lines() > 0
line = linein()
if pos("Moon-Phase", line) > 0 then do
say line
call SysGetKey 'noecho'
exit
end
end
return 0
