CNET GLOSSARY: Terms for the techie
UUencode
Like MIME, UUencode lets you send binary files over the Internet. UUencode converts binary data into ASCII text format, which can then be inserted into an e-mail message. The receiving program uses a UUdecode utility to convert the text back to binary format. The name UUencode was taken from "Unix-to-Unix encoding," but UUencode and UUdecode are now cross-platform standards.
