NAME

mmshowpart - Fetch and display the body of a mail message that is included by reference  

SYNOPSIS

/usr/local/mm/mmshowpart file id partnum totalnum
 

DESCRIPTION

The mmshowpart program will squirrel away the body of a MIME-format message that is of type "message/partial" for later use. When it is called on the last piece, it will put the pieces together and call metamail to display the full message. It is intended to be called by metamail via a mailcap entry like the following in /usr/local/lib/mm/forward.mailcap:
        message/partial;            /usr/local/mm/mmsavepart %s %{id} %{number} %{total}

BUGS

The parts are squirrelled away on /tmp, which means that /tmp can fill up if you never get the remaining parts. When the message is finally displayed, via metamail, the parts are all discarded, which might also be seen as a bug by some...
