uuencoding is not part of MIME.  So it is not in the MIME RFC.
But it is in other RFC's.  

What you will find is that there is no real standard for uuencode
attachments in email.  If you take this on, be prepared to have to
tweak it from time to time.

I think it is worth doing, but not a deal breaker.  It is not mime,
and in fact there is no well defined standard for uuencoded email 
"attachments" per se.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
