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.
Please note that
www4mail
will send you! -see section Automatic Splitting of Messages.
If a message is larger than 300 kilobytes (300kb), www4mail
will
automatically split it into two or more 300kb files, and send each
file as a separate message. If this is the case, you will need to rebuild the
original file by attaching the single parts in one file only.
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
).
