UC: UUE Completer

(c) Mikov Stanislav, 2003


Have you ever subscribed to FIDO/NNTP conferences thru talk.ru or MyGate?
Have you ever received any UUEncoded files splitted to separate messages, and can't assemble them in any way?
The programs you using works weird and have inergonomic interface?
Try this pretty console utility, it's designed especially for you!

What UC does?

This utility assembles and decodes UUEncoded files from messages containing splitted UUE.

How does UC works?

You're to pass as a command parameter folder which contains *.msg files exported from your mail program; UC scans these files for presence of UUE-data, deletes files without UUE-data and identical parts of UUE, decodes files containing all of the parts and deletes these source parts. Files containing incomplete data remains unchanged - so UC can be used to process incoming mail.

Comment

UC supports english and russian interface languages. In case of misdetecting of language it can be set manually using -fr or -fe command-line option.

Syntax

uc.exe [folder to process] [-r filename] [-fe] [-fr] [> output.txt]

[folder to process] - this parameter specifies folder containing .msg-files to process (for example, if you're using The Bat!, you can export your messages using menuTools-Export messages-Message files (.msg)).
[-r filename] - that command allows to delete incomplete files (e.g. if you have received only 20 of 83 parts and do not want to wait for remaining messages received). So, if you have incomplete messages containing data about file "megafile.zip", you can remove that messages by executing uc -r megafile
[-fe] - switches output language to english
[-fr] - switches output language to russian
[> output.txt] - redirects output into file output.txt, overwriting it (this applicable to log-lovers :)
[>> output.txt] - redirects output into file output.txt, appending it

Practical use

I'm so sorry, this chapter will be translated later


To do list.

  • MIME-decoding
  • any file processing (not only .msg)
  • something else?
