When opening a message in a binary newsgroup like alt.binaries.warez, uuencoded
messages (apparantly without the "begin 644 filename.r10" line) do not show up
as attachments but are seen as plain text.
See http://pearlshed.nl/mozillanews.png for a screenshot.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a news server with binary groups
2. Go to alt.binaries.warez (or other)
3. View a message where the Subject suggests an attached file.

Actual Results:  
I saw the plaintext and not the attachment

Expected Results:  
Create some sort of link to the attached uudecoded file
