#### 3.17.1 Uuencoded Articles

`X u`
  Uudecodes the current series (`gnus-uu-decode-uu`).
`X U`
  Uudecodes and saves the current series (`gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save`).
`X v u`
  Uudecodes and views the current series (`gnus-uu-decode-uu-view`).
`X v U`
  Uudecodes, views and saves the current series (`gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save-view`).

Remember that these all react to the presence of articles marked with the process mark. If, for instance, you'd like to decode and save an entire newsgroup, you'd typically do `M P a` (`gnus-uu-mark-all`) and then `X U` (`gnus-uu-decode-uu-and-save`).

All this is very much different from how `gnus-uu` worked with gnus 4.1, where you had explicit keystrokes for everything under the sun. This version of `gnus-uu` generally assumes that you mark articles in some way (see Setting Process Marks) and then press `X u`.

Note: When trying to decode articles that have names matching `gnus-uu-notify-files`, which is hard-coded to ‘`[Cc][Ii][Nn][Dd][Yy][0-9]+.\\(gif\\|jpg\\)`’, `gnus-uu` will automatically post an article on ‘`comp.unix.wizards`’ saying that you have just viewed the file in question. This feature can't be turned off.
