Not off the top of my head. I know of programs that have been floating around to facilitate the transfer of files from anonymous (and possible authenticated) ftp sites to the email address of the user. The options were a little vague and I decided against it for various reasons.
One of the biggest problems with this is security. How will you secure the transfer of the files to the user's account when they are e-mailed? How will you be able to cope with say someone trying to stuff massive quantities of data (say the uuencoded version of the emacs and the linux kernel cat'ed together). The only plausible method would be to somehow get a program that allowed only inbound ftp-email traffic from certain "trusted" hosts and only by issuing say temporary passwords. If anyone is going to be monitoring your e-mail traffic they might get more than auth thelma's recipe for bundt cake if you get my drift.
