It's not one function, is a recipe for shelling out twice to perform
operations on the region:

C-a          : beginning-of-line
C-Space      : set-mark-command
C-Down       : forward-paragraph
M-|          : shell-command-on-region (the command is "uudecode" and
               RET terminates the command name)
M-!          : shell-command (the command is "xv 1.gif" and
               RET terminates the command)

Apparently uudecode will see the "1.gif" tag in the data, and write out
the file 1.gif.  xv would be a gif viewer.
