.SH HISTORY
.PP
This is a new and simpler version of
.B sendfiles ,
which directly invokes
.B send .
The old one had invoked
.B viamail .
The old version had been able to send whole directories, by automatically
tarballing them. This new version is not able to do so.
The old man page had described some kind of automatical splitting of
large content into `message/partial' parts. However, it appears as if this
had been removed earlier, only its documentation remained.
