You asked:
| Are there scripts/tools available to automatically email binary/tar files,
| that first use compress/uuencode/split before mailing the files, and that
| then reverse the process for incoming files, stripping the mail headers
| in the process? We sometimes have to send large binary files (> 1 Mbyte),
| and so far we've been using DHL courier services. 

  The most elegant ones are mailto (creates MIME multi-media mail) and
metamail (reads it).  MIME includes multi-part multimedia mail, so
avoids the old split-and-compress-and-uuencode drudgrey. 
  Available on an archive server near you (or send me mail and
say how big a message your neighbours will let me send you per day,
and I'll mail it).

  A word of caution: your upstream neighbours at ub4b.buug.be may want you
to pay for a monster feed if you start mailing binaries around!
