If your mailer software or gateway has a file size limit of less than 300kB,
then you can request that www4mail
split messages into files of smaller
sizes (starting from 1 kB). To lower this value, use the GETSIZE command.
For example, the following command splits the file into 10k chunks instead:
To: www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it Subject: (... whatever you like) GETSIZE 10000 (use one option line only!) URL_here
GETSIZE sets the size of the www4mail
reply message in bytes
(you may also use the following notation: GETSIZE 10k
). You can
list up to 5 URLs as you need within the body of your message to www4mail
,
but write one URL per line.
When www4mail
replies to a GETSIZE command, then the requested Web
document is always sent as an attachment. You may need to force your
Mail User Agent to save it using the save file
option. Finally,
a suitable application or command can be
used to combine all chunks (on UNIX use:
cat
file.1 file.2 file.3 > file and
on DOS use: copy /b file.1+file.2+file.3 file
).
If you are displaying on your browser a Web document sent by www4mail
,
and want to retrieve the selected documents split in smaller
chunks, then you can enter a maximum size of reply(s) from www4mail
in the box near the `Get Selected Document(s)
button at the footer of
the Web page you are viewing.
