You asked: | Are there scripts/tools available to automatically email binary/tar files, | that first use compress/uuencode/split before mailing the files, and that | then reverse the process for incoming files, stripping the mail headers | in the process? We sometimes have to send large binary files (> 1 Mbyte), | and so far we've been using DHL courier services. The most elegant ones are mailto (creates MIME multi-media mail) and metamail (reads it). MIME includes multi-part multimedia mail, so avoids the old split-and-compress-and-uuencode drudgrey. Available on an archive server near you (or send me mail and say how big a message your neighbours will let me send you per day, and I'll mail it). A word of caution: your upstream neighbours at ub4b.buug.be may want you to pay for a monster feed if you start mailing binaries around! -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@Nexus.YorkU.CA | lethe!dave 72 Abitibi Ave., | Willowdale, Ontario, | Stupidity is evil waiting to happen.
