FTP and Binary Files via www4mail

If you use www4mail to retrieve, for example, image files (extensions `.jpg', `.gif'), software (extensions `.tar', `hqx'), files in Word (extension `.doc') or WordPerfect (extension `.wp'), or files which have been compressed (extensions `.gz', `Z'), then www4mail will send you such files as an attachment.

For example, if you send an e-mail

          To: www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it
     Subject:         (... whatever you like)
 
     ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack/mpack15d.zip
or
     http://www.ictp.trieste.it/images/ProfSalam.gif

You will receive a binary message as BASE64 MIME file-attachment by default. There also exists the possibility of uuencoding binary files using UUENCODE option upon request -See section uuencoding Messages.
