It's because I need to gate some FidoNet mail to a friend of mine via the
Internet. So what I was planning on doing was this:

1) Pack the mailfiles in a .ZIP-file.
2) Uuencode the .ZIP-file
3) Generate an e-mail to my friend with the uuencoded .ZIP-file in it.
4) Insert the e-mail into the MAIL.MSG file for sending by Souper.
5) Send the e-mail to my friend.

I will then need to do the opposite when my friend starts to answer. But
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. :-)
