 You'd better take heed, the spammers will get to you real soon.
To protect against it; do not expose email addresses within messages sent
to such a forum as this one.

 This really comes down to some self discipline; use 'u2d' and 'd2u'
at apropriate times.

Many files to handle? YUK (MS strikes again).
You're forced to use find -exec and/or xargs on u2d/d2u - unless you
can think out a scheme how to handle the conversion automagically
(text mode mounts for Window's file access? - I got lazy here).
