| | Encoding Email Attachments - Encode, MIME, Binhex, Uuencode, AppleDouble |
 | | There are a number of more or less standard encoding methods, including MIME, uuencode, BinHex, and AppleDouble (Mac version of MIME). |
 | | Uuencode was one of the earliest encoding standards, first developed on the Unix BSD operating system. |
 | | For many years there was no other standards document defining uuencode, which led to incompatible implementations until later versions were generally built to be compliant with the POSIX standard P1003.2b/D11, later IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. |
