Hmmm I think you should post what you're trying to change as Jim
suggested...
Is it using an ADM for office 2003 then?

Yepp, I did, as mentioned with respect to "GPO wizards" below, ie both
GP Modeling and GP Results, have been used to check for problems.
What I found was that they are taking effect, just not all of them(...)
in that particular GPO, and that's causing me grief [uuencode is always
on] which fouls up posting attachments to our internal mailing lists at

And no 8-), me and university helpdesk concluded it's not a
mail/list-server problem but rather that the policy setting is not
taking effect completely.
I found that out after checking, on a hunch, the registry settings for
Outlook on my own machine. The key
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail\Message Plain
Format MIME" is set to "0", no matter what. I assumed the key would
change to 1 when checking the "don't use uuencode" GPO, but it didn't...
