What do you mean by "decode eight-bit characters"?  There's no such
thing in the "real world", it is entirely an Emacs invention.  How
could such "characters" appear in uuencoded email message?

Can you describe the real-life use case where this happened?

Please show only the changes to fix what you think is a bug.  let's
leave the optimization alone for a moment, so that it doesn't muddy
the waters.

Thanks.
