 This question is killing me
something about which one is not used in email (A) dbase64 (B)uuencode (C)zip (D)Binhex
Which is it , I looked up all of them all associate with email. 
Uuencode
A set of algorithms for converting files into a series of 7-bit ASCII characters that can be transmitted over the Internet. Originally, uuencode stood for Unix-to-Unix encode, but it has since become a universal protocol used to transfer files between different platforms such as Unix, Windows, and Macintosh. Uuencoding is especially popular for sending e-mail attachments. Nearly all e-mail applications support uuencoding for sending attachments and uudecoding for receiving attachments.
Another popular encoding algorithm is BinHex , which is often used for transferring Macintosh files, such as PICT graphics files.
DameWare dBase64 - Version 1.4.0.1 - Windows 95/98 - Email - Download - Screen Shot - Home Page - Online Order
Provides functionality to encode and decode data, using the Base64 encoding method introduced for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standard. Very easy to use with only two properties and two methods.
BinHex An encoding scheme that converts binary data into ASCII characters. Any file, whether it be a graphics file, a text file, or a binary executable file, can be converted to BinHex. This format is particularly valuable for transferring files from one platform to another because nearly all computers can handle ASCII files. In fact, many e-mail programs include a BinHex encoder and decoder for sending and receiving attachments. BinHex is an especially common format for Macintosh files. Encoded files usually have a .HQX extension.

I'm guessing maybe Zip doesn't fit. Since I think all of the others actually take a file, and make them into ASCII text which can be placed in the body of the email. Where as Zip is an compression utility, and a Zip file has to be attached to an email??
Back in the old days, we'd encode a file, and it would be sent as like 20 emails, which the user at the other end would have to unencode.

 ZIP
It's ZIP, you can send ZIPped files, but it's not part of mail!
