I mentioned this a whileback in a thread "'Message Delivered' Messages"
and based on advice recived, I killed two birds with one stone and
just popped /^begin \d{3} \S+$/ to taboo_body to filter out all messages
with uuencoded attachments. I also modified the approve script to take an
option '-s' which will strip out any such uuencoded part and put a polite
message  in its place. So whenever I get the bounced messages I pipe them
to 'approve -s' and it goes out approved and without the attachment.
The crude removal will screw up any Content-Length headers, but you
can't have everything.
