We're trying to fake Next mail attachments so that non next
users can send mail attachments thru their mail programs to 
next mail users. Specifically, were doing this with the VMS 
mailer by tarring, compressing then uuencoding the file(s).
Looking at normal Next mail attachments we can see a header
line as follows:

Next-Attachment: .tar.432.AFileName_foo.attach, 29367, 1/1, 40392, 0

We've figured out that the 29367 is the size of the file and that 1/1 
probably means the first tarred file in the tar file.  Does anyone
know what the 40392 and 0 represent in this line?  Any other information
pertaining to NeXT Mail attachments would be appreciated.
