ATTACHED FILES ON E-MAIL.

[Gonzalez Eduardo]

I would like to know how to receve attached files from my mailserver. When i connect by telnet to the Pop3 port, download the message but the attached file is written into the message.
I would like to save the attached file in another directory.

Thanks

Use "elm -s "Subject" email-address < filename.

try uuencode file1 file2 | mailx -s 'test file' email address (a@b.com)

Hi Gonzalez:

When you use telnet to pop3 port of your mailserver to retrieve your mail, you cannot view the attachments separately because the attachments are usually encoded as part of the message and it is expected that you will use a user agent (such as elm) to read it. If you want to be able to pull your mail off from a pop3 server, you might want to consider the fetchmail utility - it can fetch your mails from different pop servers and deliver it to you locally so that you can use elm (or other agent) to read the mail (and its attachments)

ELM version less than2.4 would not send mail atachment on HPUX ver 11.00. However there are lots uiltilites to do that . You can do it with mpack too. Other utilities can be found out from on www.stokely.com.
