[olug] How to MIME encode

[Bob McCoy]

Does anyone know how to MIME encode a binary file for emailing?  In the
past I've used uuencoding and that worked fine.  However, I'm now
mailing this file to another service that only seems to understand MIME
encoding.  Here is the original code snippet:

    tar czf - `cat $FILELIST` | uuencode bccfiles.tar.z | mail -s "BCC
Files" $ADMIN

What command would I need to use to MIME encode the data instead of
uuencode?
