The manual of uudecode mentions a -m option (for base64 encoded files). Actually using it results in:
someguy at somemachine:~$ uudecode -m somebase64file
uudecode: invalid option -- m
Try `uudecode --help' for more information.
someguy at somemachine:~$ uudecode --help
Usage: uudecode [FILE]...
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory to short options too.
-o, --output-file=FILE direct output to FILE
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Report bugs to <bug-gnu-utils at gnu.org>.
As you can see, the -m option is neither recognized by uudecode nor listed by --help
7.10 Gutsy Gibbon 2.6.22-14-generic uudecode (GNU sharutils) 4.6.3
