2.3 Receiving Web documents in the body of a message

Some compatibility with alternative "Agora" and "GetWeb" server is also possible via www4mail. Similarly, you can also retrieve Web pages (converted into text) in the body of a message if you prefer so.

For the previous example, send an e-mail

 
           To:  www4mail@wm.ictp.trieste.it
      Subject:          (... whatever you like)
 
and write in the body of the e-mail any of the following options:

            GET http://www.ictp.trieste.it/

or

           SEND http://www.ictp.trieste.it/

Then to continue navigating the Web using www4mail send another e-mail message to: www4mail and specify the URL(s) you need as in the above example.

If you want to retrieve the unmodified HTML sources in the body of an e-mail message, write any of the following options:

 
            GET SOURCE http://www.ictp.trieste.it/

or, simply,

            SOURCE http://www.ictp.trieste.it/

In case your e-mail reader does not support MIME, you can get the www4mail filtered HTML sources in the body of an e-mail message, by using the following option:
 
            XSOURCE http://www.ictp.trieste.it/

You can list up to 5 `XSOURCE URLs' as you need within the body of your message to www4mail, but write one `XSOURCE URL' per line.
