Email recipient problems with uuencode attachments
Most of my email attachments are fine, but some recipients get the email with the uuencode attachment included as "text" at the end of the body of the message.
Has anybody seen this? It seems to happen most with yahoo, msn and other freebie email addresses.
Thanks

SYNOPSIS
bashbug [--help] [--version] [bug-report-email-addresses]
DESCRIPTION
bashbug is a utility for reporting bugs in Bash to the maintainers.
bashbug will start up your preferred editor with a preformatted bug report template for you to fill in. Save the file and quit the editor

sending it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed
by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.
If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.
OPTIONS
--help
Show a brief usage message and exit.
--version
