The uuencode extension spec allows encoded filenames to start with a -[base64|encoded]. This is in addition to the problem with > 3 character file modes

Support for encoded filenames seems to be a GNU extension. Is it supported by any other uuencode implementations?

it is a GNU extension but since most uuencoded files are created on linux, that is probably likely in non-latin1 usage. I noticed this when working on the 4 char mode bug that also comes from a UNIX environment
