XUUENCODE bug

Hello,

<www4mail@unganisha.idrc.ca> and <www4mail@web.bellanet.org>
(I didn't test <www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it>) have now (after
upgrade to version 2.09) the bug: if XUUENCODE command is used
with subsequent several URLs, each letter from www4mail contains
different URLs in Subjects and "begin" lines, but contents of
uuencoded files are same - of the file which URL was first
after XUUENCODE command.

Example: My letter:

> To: www4mail@unganisha.idrc.ca
>
> XUUENCODE
> xnostat
> http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/forbidden/6/fire1.gif
> http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/forbidden/6/fire2.gif

Contents of files "fire1.gif" and "fire2.gif" on web-server
are different, but letters from www4mail give after uudecoding
files with exactly same content.

Same without XNOSTAT command.

Workaround: to specify only one URL per letter to www4mail.
Or may be (I didn't test) omit XUUENCODE command (base64 encoding
will be used).

Thanks,

Lena
