>Description:

	Installing mail/dbmail pulls in mail/gmime2 as a dependency.
	mail/gmime2 installs mutant versions of uuencode and uudecode
	in /usr/local/bin.  mail/mailman/Makefile uses "uudecode -p",
	which the mutant version of uudecode doesn't support,
	resulting in an installation failure for mail/mailman.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install mail/dbmail and mail/mailman, in that order.

>Fix:

	mail/mailman/Makefile should use "/usr/bin/uudecode" rather
	than just "uudecode".

	mail/gmime2 should not install mutant verions of uuencode and
	uudecode when pulled in as a side effect of installing another
	program, or should use alternate names (eg, gmime-uu{en,de}code).
