I've never known uuencode to fail...  Any clue what kinds of problems?

And I have LightMail available already.  Actually, it's compiled and
available for AIX, so perl would not normally be necessary.

I may be wrong on this, but I thought the place in question looked at
LightMail and there was an issue where their SMTP provider was using
authentication--which I can support if I code it in.  But I'd need to
charge extra for doing that, and perl, MIME::Types, and MIME::Lite would
all need to be on-system, as I no longer can compile for AIX.  I dropped
perl2exe a few years back, and have no PAR access on AIX.

Dennis would need to test the LM AIX demo.  If it worked for his needs out
of the box and required no changes, fine, he could just license it through
my web site.  If it needed my intervention in -any- form, Dennis knows
-exactly- what it will take for me to get involved directly/privately, even
on pre-sales.
