​That would be my memory.   After I left UCB in the mid 1980s.​  Your work
with uuencode certain predated it.  But as Doug points out, putting sources
in email was done before that, al biet fought with error.  I used to a
couple capital X's in column 1 to and other such things to deal with mailer
issues.

You certainly automated that a bit.
