- The _s_p_l_i_t_m_a_i_l program will take an email message and break
- it up into smaller pieces using the "message/partial" type
- defined by MIME, the proposed Internet standard for
- multimedia mail formats.
-
- By default it will take the message either from standard
- input or the named file, and will produce a set of partial
- message files with names like "/tmp/split.1" for the first
- part, and so on. The prefix "/tmp/split." can be overridden
- using the "-p" option.
-
- If the -d option is specified, the mail will actually be
- delivered. If -v is specified, the verbose flag will be
- passed to sendmail.
-
- The -i option can be used to make splitmail generate the
- pieces with similar (but not identical) message-id fields,
- in a format which allows them to be easily correlated with
- one another and which end with the suffix provided on the
- command line after -i.
-
- The default chunk size for spliting messages is 250000 at
- most sites, though this is also a compile-time option. This
- can be overriden with the -s switch, or with the environment
- variable SPLITSIZE.
-
- Messages smaller than the chunk size will not be turned into
- partial messages, but will be written to a single file or
- delivered as a single message.
-
- EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
- SPLITSIZE overrides the default chunk size. Setting
- SPLITSIZE to, say, 4000000 will effectively ensure that your
- messages are unlikely ever to be split, but it may cause
- them to be rejected by some mail transport software.

- If the size of the input is just on the fencepost, and if it
- is coming from a file rather than standard input, splitmail
- will sometimes estimate the number of parts wrong and will

- have to write out an extra part. This is harmless but
- annoying. It is especially annoying if the estimate was 2
- but the real number was 1.
