SMTP: Gateway Tries to UUDECODE Text That is not UUENCODED

CAUSE

To determine the presence of uuencoded text the Gateway parses the message and looks for the word BEGIN at the far left of a new line, followed by a blank, and END at the far left of a subsequent line. Uuencoded text is marked at the beginning with the phrase BEGIN UUENCODE and at the end with END.

The word END can actually be a part of another word, such as ENDEAVOR, and if the Gateway finds BEGIN at the start of a new line, followed by a blank, then END at the start of another line, it considers the text in between to be uuencoded and tries to uudecode it.
