Perhaps a GTK thing ? On Win32 it happens the same.

As you noticed, Outlook Express (don't know about Outlook) defaults the
nntp message encodig to UUEncode. Probably the only ways to solve this
is either to implement UUDecoding in Sylpheed, (I doubt it, since this
is an ancient thing), or try to convince the sender to configure OE to
use MIME as default encoding for nntp (like for e-mail), or use an
external UUDecode application.
