re-combining multi part message

[Jim Norton]

I received an email that had been broken into 30 parts. I was being
sent a zip file. So far I have been unable to find any way to
re-combine this into a single file. It was sent as an attachment and
broken into parts by Outlook or Outlook Express. I use Outlook and it
will break a large fine into parts and sent it., but I don't see
anything about how to re-combine the parts into one file.

I have searched the messages in this group without finding any answer.

Any help appreciated.

Jim

It could have been sent by Outlook Express, since it has this feature, but
not by Outlook, since Outlook doesn't include that feature.

The following assumes that the attachments you see contain either Base64
encoding or UUencoding and not a true attachment.

To recombine, open a text document with, say, Notepad. Then, open each
message, select the gobbledegook you see in the attachment and copy it to
the Notepad window. Do this for each message part, pasting the attachment
contents to the end. When done, save the text document and download a tool
called UUD32WIN from http://www.execpc.com/~mspankus/. Run that tool, open
up the text document and it will decode it into the Zip file.

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try.
