Which makes perfect sense.  I've been downloading uuencoded goodies for
years from usenet, and posted a few myself (back in the pre-spam,
pre-www days).  MIME wasn't around back then.

It seems to me that it would make sense to pass the message body into
"DefinitelyClean" and simply check for a uuencoded file, which would be
a simple regex and would surely be quicker than scanning all files.  The
logic would be:

if mime header return 0;
if uuencoded file in body return 0;
return 1;

That shouldn't require too much more horsepower.
