Message Splitting Upon Request

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.
