61 the list of messages. The default is for
64 the combined parts as a new message in the current folder, although
65 this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then
68 to find out what's inside; possibly followed by
70 again to write the archive to a file where you can
71 subsequently uncompress and untar it. For instance:
76 msg part type/subtype size description
77 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
78 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
79 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
80 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
82 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
84 msg part type/subtype size description
85 9 application/octet-stream 118K
86 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
90 % uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
94 Alternately, by using the
98 will automatically do the extraction for you:
103 msg part type/subtype size description
104 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
105 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
106 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
107 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
109 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
111 msg part type/subtype size description
112 9 application/octet-stream 118K
113 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
117 -- tar listing appears here as files are extracted
123 listing is generated, the files are extracted.
124 A prudent user will never put

134 to perform the extraction.
