Hey there.

I think there is a typo in the uuencode(1) manpage which leads to some
wrong rendering:

--- a/uuencode.1        2021-09-29 04:21:44.070922308 +0200
+++ b/uuencode.1        2021-09-29 04:20:59.334172648 +0200

 \fIuuencode\fP is used to create an ASCII representation of a file
 that can be sent over channels that may otherwise corrupt the data.
 Specifically, email cannot handle binary data and will often even
-insert a character when the six character sequence "\nFrom " is seen.
+insert a character when the six character sequence "\\nFrom " is seen.
 .sp
 \fIuuencode\fP will read \fIin-file\fP if provided and otherwise
 read data from standard in and write the encoded form to standard out.



Could someone perhaps fix that (and release a new version eventually
^^)

Cheers,
Chris.
