FreeBSD converters  : mmencode
Translate to and from mail-oriented encoding formats
From the man page:
The mimencode program simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one of
the standard mail encoding formats defined by MIME, the proposed standard
for internet multimedia mail formats. Such an encoding is necessary
because binary data cannot be sent through the mail. The encodings under-
stood by mimencode are preferable to the use of the uuencode/uudecode pro-
grams, for use in mail, in several respects that were important to the
authors of MIME.
Mmencode is part of metamail, and can be installed as part of that package.
It is provided here as an independent package since some programs require
mmencode only and hence you can avoid having to install the entire metalmail
package when not required.

Import of mmencode.
mmencode is actually part of metamail, but at least one port, bgrab,
requires this to run. bgrab is a console application, and metamail
requires X (not good).
mmencode simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one of one of
the standard encoding formats defined by MIME.
