Also moved it from etc/ to uip/. Updated man pages.
Note: The splitting of large messages by sendfile/viamail/or elsewhere
seems not to be available anymore, although it had been documented in the
man page. Either the man pages don't match the code or I've not found this
function yet.

+sendfiles \- send multiple files in a MIME message
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
.na
.B sendfiles
-.I mailpath
+.I recipient
.I subject
.I file1
.RI [ file2
The shell script
.BR sendfiles ,
is used to send a collection
-of files and directories via electronic mail.
-.PP
-.RS 5
-sendfiles mailpath \*(lqsubject\*(rq files\0...
-.RE
-.PP
-.B sendfiles
-will archive the files and directories you name
-with the
-.B tar
-command, and then mail the compressed
-archive to the \*(lqmailpath\*(rq with the given \*(lqsubject\*(rq.
-.PP
-Sometimes you want
-.B sendfiles
-to pause after posting a partial
-message. This is usually the case when you are running
-.B sendmail
-and expect to generate a lot of partial messages. If the first
-argument given to
+of files via electronic mail.
.B sendfiles
-starts with a dash, then it is
-interpreted as the number of seconds to pause in between postings,
-e.g.,
-.PP
-.RS 5
-sendfiles -30 mailpath \*(lqsubject\*(rq files\0...
-.RE
-.PP
-will pause 30 seconds in between each posting.
-.PP
-.SS "Extracting the Received Files"
-When these messages are received, invoke
-.B mhstore
-once for
-the list of messages. The default is for
-.B mhstore
-to store
-the combined parts as a new message in the current folder, although
-this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then
-use
-.B mhlist
-to find out what's inside; possibly followed by
-.B mhstore
-again to write the archive to a file where you can
-subsequently uncompress and untar it. For instance:
-.PP
-.RS 5
-.nf
-% mhlist 5-8
- msg part type/subtype size description
- 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
- 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4

+.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, be 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.
