I've enabled uuencode support:

mime_drivers.php:$mime_drivers['imp']['plain']['uuencode'] = true;

And now I can view uuencoded files, but small ones (under 1MB) take 5-30
seconds to show freezing up the webserver, and larger ones (tested with 3MB)
just show the file as plaintext on the screen.

Would be nice if the uudecoding was sped up as in it's current state users
are causing DoS whenever they recieve a uuencoded email.
