  Hi Matthias,

With LiveCode on Mac OS X you could use a shell() command and let the 'uuencode' 
line command do the work. Not sure about Windows... there doesn't seem to be a 
direct way to uuencode a file - no 'uuencode' command, nor any way to do it 
using PowerShell (AFAIK). Do you feel like writing your own LC uu library? That 
should be doable.

More info about the uuencode spec:
