UUEncoded files can appear anywhere, and is decoded by Eudora Pro (Light
does not recognize uue).
base64'ed files must appear at the end of message, in a different part of
the message. The messages are divided according to MIME specification,
content-boundaries must be used to divide them, and that means strange
extra headers. If not, they will not be decoded automatically. (The
filename is not given in base64; it's in the content header.)

Then you don't need file_length, just getc until -1.
I prefer gets because it's called (the number of lines + 1) times, instead
of (the number of bytes + 1) times.
Rob Craig:
- can we have the following two functions built-in (so that they execute
faster)?
- can we have left-to-right processing of && and ||? (still, 'and' and 'or'
will examine all operands)
- can we have ?: operator (or immediate if), like
a = b ? c : d
instead of
if b then
a = c -- note: d not calculated
else
a = d -- note: c not calculated
end if
include file.e
-- in file.e: type file_number(integer x) return x >= 0 end type
-- getsc: get some chars
global function getsc(file_number fn, file_number len) -- yes, len can be 0
sequence t
t = {}
for i = 1 to len do
t = t & getc(fn)
end for
while length(t) do
if t[length(t)] != -1 then
exit
end if
t = t[1..length(t) - 1]
end while
return t
end function
global function filesize(file_number fn)
integer i, s, t
t = where(fn)
i = seek(fn, -1)
s = where(fn)
i = seek(fn, t) -- return to previous position
return s
end function
