NAME
       showpartial  - Fetch and	display	the body of a mail message that	is in-
       cluded by reference

SYNOPSIS
       showpartial  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.
