compress   Compress files/dir-listings before emailing back
gzip    Gzip files/dir-listings before emailing back

uuencode

    converting a binary file before emailing.
    (Default is uuencode.)

force uuencode
force btoa
    Force all files or directory listings to
    be encoded before sending back.
    There is no default.

mime
    Send the message as a Mime Verson 1.0 message.
    Text will be sent as text/plain charset=US-ASCII
    Non-text as application/octet-stream.
    If the file is splitup then it will be sent
    as a message/partial.

force mime
    As mime but force text files to be sent as
    application/octet-stream

no [compress|gzip|uuencode|btoa|mime]
    Turn the option off.

Example scripts are:

open
dir
quit
 Connect to sunsite.unc.edu and send back the contents of the top level
 directory

reply-to lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk
open
cd unix
get buffer.shar
quit
 Connect to sunsite.unc.edu and send back the file buffer.shar to
 lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk

open src.doc.ic.ac.uk
cd graphics/X11/X.V11R5
get ls-lR.Z
cd ../contrib
compress
ls -ltra
quit
 Connect to src.doc.ic.ac.uk, send back the file ls-lR.Z in
 graphics/X11/X.V11R5.  As this is a binary file it has to be transfered
 in binary mode.  Because it is binary it will automatically
 be uuencoded (the default binary encoder).  Then change to ../contrib
 and mail back a compressed directory listing.  Although compressing ls
 output makes it binary, which then has to be encoded, it still ends up
 smaller than the original.

open
cd graphics/X11/X.V11R5/fixes
get fix-08
get fix-09
get sunGX.uu
quit
 Retrieve some recent X fixes


open
cd gnu
atob
mode binary
get emacs-18.57.tar.Z
quit
