predictive via email sendmail

[wyan lowe]

been told predictive expects to receive email attachments from HP's site in uuencoded format and can't handle Base64/MIME encoded attachements.

Anybody have some kind of workaround for this?

I think I saw a perl script on web that can translate uuencode to base64...
but can this be done in shell script using "od"?

one recommendation was to have the mailgateway allow uuencoded messages through, without changing to mime/base64...but it appears that that kind of config is a global setting...and uuencoded format isn't(?) widely accepted everywhere...

but on software.hp.com, the 3rd party domain software link to http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ has a cool util: mudecode 1.0. for both 10.20 & 11.0

so I guess the fix is modify the .forward file for the predictive user predmail from "|/opt/pred/bin/tcpemail /opt/pred/var/tcpemail.kf" to something like "| mudecode arg arg | uuencode | tcpemail"
