59 the list of messages. The default is for
62 the combined parts as a new message in the current folder, although
63 this can be changed using storage formatting strings. You can then
66 to find out what's inside; possibly followed by
68 again to write the archive to a file where you can
69 subsequently uncompress and untar it. For instance:
74 msg part type/subtype size description
75 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
76 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
77 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
78 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
80 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
82 msg part type/subtype size description
83 9 application/octet-stream 118K
84 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
88 % uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
92 Alternately, by using the
96 will automatically do the extraction for you:
101 msg part type/subtype size description
102 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4

104 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
105 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
107 reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
109 msg part type/subtype size description
110 9 application/octet-stream 118K
111 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
115 -- tar listing appears here as files are extracted
121 listing is generated, the files are extracted.
122 A prudent user will never put
