Possible? Yes. Convenient? No.
You could cat several uuencode files together and send them in one
email. You'd have to edit them on the receiving end into separate files
and uudecode them separately. In practice, you'd uuencode a tarball.
MIME was a major advance, and what's telling is that 25 years later,
SMTP/MIME is still the standard.

that uuencode predates MIME, and he's right.
Is it possible to send
multi-part email bodies using uuencode, as it
is with MIME?
