Just guessing as to what the problem is: The default encoding for mail is mime base64, uuencode is used mostly for newsgroup's binaries. So the "gibberish" you see is the uuencoded message, which you will probably have to "uudecode" manually yourself. Probably sylpheed hasn't gotten around to including automatic decoding for uuencode in emails, while your other email clients have. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

i tried this and no luck,
how owuld i decode it?
Uudecode transforms uuencoded files (or by default, the landie@pepino:~ > uudecode -o www.tar.gz www.tar.gz uudecode: www.tar.gz: No `begin' line
The "no begin line" means you didn't save the file with all it's boundarys. Try uuencoding a file: uuencode somefile.txt > somefile.uue then look at the somefile.uue, you will see what it is supposed to look like. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Try uuencoding a file: uuencode somefile.txt > somefile.uue
i tried uuencode test.txt > test.uue and it just hangs

That's the wrong syntax. Try "cat test.txt|uuencode foo > test.uue"
AND to decode?

Oops, uuencode has an oddball syntax, where you have to name the file twice. Try: uuencode somefile.txt somefile.uue > somefile.uue -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
