I think you're using `find` wrong. AFAIK find takes a directory first, then some filter statements and lastly a â€œcommandâ€. That means I'd write the first part of the `find` portion like this:

find . -name \*.jpg ...

But I'm not convinced `find` is the best thing to use in this case. If all files to be mailed are in the current directory I would personally have used a `for` loop:

for f in *.jpg; do uuencode $f $f | mail someone@gmail.com; done

Just my 2p.

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?
