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

SYNOPSIS
     showpartial  file id partnum totalnum

DESCRIPTION
     The  showpartial  program will squirrel away the body of a MIME-format mes-
     sage 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  dis-
     play the full message.  It is intended to be called by metamail via a mail-
     cap 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  dis-
     played,  via  metamail,  the parts are all discarded, and the user is asked
     whether or not to delete the file containing the entire message.
