Hello -- Thank you for maintaining GNU sharutils. I'm sending this email to report a minor documentation issue. I'm using an Ubuntu 22.04 GNU/Linux system with GNU sharutils 4.15.2. I was looking at the uuencode man page today and noticed that the DESCRIPTION section says: --- Specifically, email cannot handle binary data and will often even insert a character when the six character sequence "0rom " is seen. --- To my understanding, that should actually be the character sequence "\nFrom ". It seems like the "\nF" sequence is getting interpreted somehow. This is not a serious issue because it doesn't affect functionality -- just a documentation nit that left me confused for a bit. Thanks and regards, Rain (they/she)
