Hi,

In any event, "man uuencode" will tell you the correct usage.

On the theory that the .txt file is supposed to be one line containing:

     UUENCODE Test File

your invocation of uuencode will produce exactly the sequence of characters
that show up in the body of your email.  You have to save that email and
uudecode the result.
