2.4.5 uuencoding Messages

The following command allows you to retrieve any Web document uuencoded. Send an e-mail
 
          To: www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it
     Subject:         (... whatever you like)
 
     XUUENCODE           (use one option line only!)
     URL_here
When www4mail replies to a XUUENCODE command, then the requested Web document is always sent in the body of the e-mail. www4mail will always reply with an extra e-mail messages with your usage statistics. If the file requested is large, then you can use the GETPART command to set the number of parts to return in each e-mail by www4mail and GETSIZE command to set the size of the www4mail reply message in bytes. For example,

 
          To: www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it
     Subject:         (... whatever you like)
 
     GETPART 1, 2 3 , 5-8        (use one option line only!)
     GETSIZE 10000               (use one option line only!)
     XUUENCODE

A suitable application or command (like UNIX cat file1 file2 file3 > output) can be used to combine all chunks after uudecoding each single part.
