I know about uuencode etc, but I'm sending the keys to a non-computer person on 
a windows box. I don't know if windows has uudecode.

I could have put the files in DOCUMENT_ROOT of my webserver, but they've set me 
up with their preferred method, dropbox, which I've used instead.

There's ways around this, but my point was that I didn't know that the standard 
method (e-mail attachement) didn't work anymore.
