60 the list of messages. The default is for
63 the combined parts as a new message in the current folder, although
64 this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then
67 to find out what's inside; possibly followed by
69 again to write the archive to a file where you can
70 subsequently uncompress and untar it. For instance:
75 msg part type/subtype size description
76 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
77 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
78 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
79 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
81 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
83 msg part type/subtype size description
84 9 application/octet-stream 118K
85 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
89 % uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -

97 will automatically do the extraction for you:
102 msg part type/subtype size description
103 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4

105 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
106 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
108 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
110 msg part type/subtype size description
111 9 application/octet-stream 118K
112 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
116 -- tar listing appears here as files are extracted
122 listing is generated, the files are extracted.
123 A prudent user will never put

133 to perform the extraction.
