I don't get many binhex files, but try UUdeview. You'll probably have
better luck if you use <shift-|> to pipe the message to uuedview with
the %f parameter. Here's some info from the file_id.diz.

(version 0.97g) powerful multi-file multi-part
decoder for uuencoded, xxencoded, Base64 and
BinHex encoded data. Works with news postings
as well as emailed data. Free but copyrighted
(GPL). Includes encoding engine as well.
