52 .SS "Extracting the Received Files"
53 When these messages are received, invoke
56 the list of messages. The default is for
59 the combined parts as a new message in the current folder, although
60 this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then
63 to find out what's inside; possibly followed by
65 again to write the archive to a file where you can
66 subsequently uncompress and untar it. For instance:
71 msg part type/subtype size description
72 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
73 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
74 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
75 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
77 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
79 msg part type/subtype size description
80 9 application/octet-stream 118K
81 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
85 % uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
89 Alternately, by using the
93 will automatically do the extraction for you:
98 msg part type/subtype size description
99 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
100 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
101 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
102 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
104 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
106 msg part type/subtype size description
107 9 application/octet-stream 118K
108 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
112 -- tar listing appears here as files are extracted
118 listing is generated, the files are extracted.
119 A prudent user will never put
123 file. The correct procedure is to first use
125 to find out what will be extracted. Then
129 to perform the extraction.
