yours or not) that causes that causes DoS or at least add a warning to
that effect in the config files.
something that causes a DoS if enabled, you should at least add a
warning or something? -- Every time someone opens a larger uuencoded
email/file (say >3MB), horde as a hole (i.e. for other users) becomes
unavailable for up to a minute or 2 on powerful hardware (AMD Athlon64
FX60) - that's bad.

luck. We use PEAR's Mail_mimeDecode to handle uudecoding. You might be
better off bugging them to improve performance.

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.
