The pipe is being interpreted by the shell, so find never sees the
trailing semicolon, hence the error you get.
If you want to do this, you can try:
find $PATH *.jpg -exec sh -c 'uuencode "$0" "$0" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]' '{}'
';'
which ought to do what you want. You need to explicitly invoke a
shell because find will just pass the pipe character literally along
instead of interpreting it.
