Details | Diff | Splinter Review 
The "Uuencode instead of MIME for attachments" option should be removed from the 
default UI.

This option impedes interoperability by using nonstandard encodings.  MIME has 
been out for over ten years and is now ubiquitous.  The feature is obsolete and 
should be removed for simplicity--normal users won't know what "MIME" or 
"Uuencode" are.

Thanks for the heads up Lisa.  Currently, the Message Compose menu spec shows 
"Uuencode instead of MIME for Attachments" in the "Options" menu.  Should this 
come out of the menu?

Sorry but I put this item back in M18 when I redo all the message compose menu 
as it still in the spec. I did not know it was removed. Reopen the bug...
