seems that uuencoding has gone the way of the dodo.. 

I had written in simple updates, but it's better if I just give you
this:

#!/bin/bash
maildate=`date --date=yesterday +'%h %e'`
sudo grep "$maildate" /var/log/mail.log | mail -s "Mail Log"
xxx at xxx.co.nz

optionally, I would make the email subject something like 

"Mail Log $maildate"
