It was, for at least some versions (V2 and later?), if the intermediate site(s) allowed execution of the uucp command. 25 years on the brain is fuzzy on the details ...
You could certainly add uux and uux to the list of legal remote commands, but I confess that my memory is also dim about whether
uucp file a!b!c
would be translated automatically. It has indeed been a while...
IIRC, uucp file a!b!c did not work, only uucp file a!b. Email, OTOH, was roughly translated automatically to uucp {qf,df} b!{qf,df} and the other side knew to unpack qf/df and do the right thing. Owen
