Don't blame the shell.  There is only one stdin.  What did you intend with 
your syntax:

     uuencode ... | mail ... <tryftp

Now, as Bill pointed out, if you want the output of uuencode, followed by 
the contents of the tryftp file, to be read as stdin, then use:

     ( uuencode filename filename ; cat tryftp ) | mail ...

But, "use both at the same time" has no meaning.

Or, as has been suggested, use a program that understands the concept of 
"attachments" if you want to actually use attachments.
