Uuencode for mail attachments not working

Hi,

I'm trying to send mail with attachments using uuencode, but it doesn't work.

Command (also tried with mailx):
Code:
uuencode testfile testfile | mail emailadress

The email I get doesn't have an attachment, and has this in the message body:
Code:
begin 664 testfile
%=&5S=`H`
`
end

What's going wrong?

NAME
claws-mail-attach-remover -- Attachments remover from mails DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-attach-remover This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. claws-mail-attach-remover is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. Enables the removal all of attachments from emails. When right-clicking a message on summary view, choose ``Remove attachments'' from the displayed submenu. USAGE
Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and select the plugin file, named att_remover.so, and press the ``Open'' button. BUGS
There is no way you can select individual attachments for removal. It's all or nothing. SEE ALSO
