[imp] imp not displaying encoded content as downloable attachment.

Yes - because these files are not MIME encode - they are uuencoded.  
There is a good reason why emails are not uuencoded anymore.  To view 
them, see imp/config/mime_drivers.php and change the following line:
$mime_drivers['imp']['plain']['uuencode'] = false;

to true.  But note, this means IMP has to scan *every* line in *every* 
message for UUencoded data - yuck.
