Could you post it again in zip or gz format ? The file seems to have been
converted to some strange binary format.

It's uuencoded; zipping it won't fix it because your newsreader
is not understanding the uuencoding.  Thunderbird and Pan both decode it
just fine...

You can also download it through the web interface.

Unwrapped, yes, it worked fine.

Fine, I'm using Pan ;-) Didn't see it was uuencoded. Oh, I see it now : I
read it with Sylpheed Claws. I use both because I don't know how to join
files with Pan :-(

Pan does the decoding automatically for you; I didn't see it that way
either, I had to look wthi Thunderbird.

When you say "join files", do you mean post files?  If so, that is a
feature in Pan that's not been developed.  A lot of the people who use pan
use it for pulling files from binary groups rather than posting - they
tend to use something like newspost for posting files, so that feature has
been low on the list for quite some time.  I remember back in the 0.7 and
0.8 days, there was actually a section in the message post dialog to add
files, but it wasn't implemented.

Myself, I tend to avoid posting binaries alltogether, instead posting URLs
to the files on web pages.  That way I don't put other readers in the
position of deciding whether or not a file is something they're interested
in before they've read the text of the message; with most readers,
downloading message content is an all-or-nothing proposition, and I prefer
to let those who read my posts decide if they think a potential binary
attachment is something they want to look at or not. :-)
