As long as we're being silly, this isn't really one protocol. There are
a number of different ones, which can probably mostly be characterized
as thin wrappers (FTS-0001, Yoohoo(/2u2), etc) around common file
transfer protocols (zmodem, xmodem, and others).
Well, if the idea is to get that silly, UUCP isn't one
protocol either. And, technically. it isn't for moving
email at all. Like FTP it is for moving files. It is
what happens after the files have been moved that makes
email, email.
