showpartial(1)showpartial(1)NAMEshowpartial - Fetch and display the body of a mail message that is
included by reference
SYNOPSISshowpartial file id partnum totalnum
DESCRIPTION
The showpartial 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:
message/partial; showpartial %s %{id} %{number} %{total}
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, and the user is
asked whether or not to delete the file containing the entire message.
