[HELP] uudecode an email from VN

["Thai Nguyen" <tinguyen@nortel.ca>]

Hello,

I'd need a bit of help here. I received an email from VN which had been
uuencoded (that's what my email system told me) and I did a uudecode on it but
I've had a few problems. The uuencoded file starts with "begin 600 TMP8.$$$" so
the file uudecoded is TMP8.$$$. That's what I got but when I tried to read it
with vi TMP8.$$$, I had "TMP8.7522$ [New file]" and with cat TMP8.$$$, I got
" cat: cannot open TMP8.7522$: No such file". What's going on here? I've never
used uuencode and decode before so I might have missed something. I think the
guy in Ha Noi must have sent me the email with uucp. Thanx!!
