You shouldn't need to do anything special because uudecode will igonore
everything before and after the relevant section. It doesn't need to be
stripped down to just the attachment. I don't know what it'll do if
there's more than one attachment, and don't have time to test it, but
that's probably not an issue here.

Hello Don,
This recipe gives me a zero-sized zipped file.
I could do better if it could also unzip the file , in case the recipe
can get some facelift ;-)
Thanks in advance
