Chris,

Can you give me a hint? So I use Perl to rid the file of these characters and then uuencode it and then use mail utility to send to people? Won't uuencode do the same thing again and add those characters back?

Thanks!

No, but you could easily write a perl script to clean it up, take about 3
lines of code.
