To do so from the mac side, you can put the mail in a file that is on
a afpd mountable filespace, and then from the mac use the program
apparently called tiger. Here is the listing from the
mac.archive.umich.edu index:
/mac/util/compression/tiger1.1.sit.hqx
  32 9/10/92 BinHex4.0,StuffIt1.5.1

   Decode uuencoded and AppleSingle files.

It is a five dollar shareware program. I can't really test it to see
how well it works.
