Others have already mentioned the StolenBase NDA but I haven't seen
anyone mention that Spectrum comes with an XCMD that allows you to
encode and decode BINscii, UUencode, BinHex and MIME messages both
from the programs menus as well as from within scripts.

Spectrum v2.2 also supports TCP/IP connections using Marinetti so you
can actually get your e-mail using Spectrum and then decode any
attachments.  This can be done either manually or with a script.

I am also working on an e-mail client for the IIgs that uses Marinetti
and it will support encoding and decoding but I'm not sure if it will
be in the intial release.  At this point I'm just trying to get
something working stable enough that I can release it.
