In Outlook Express, the messages are /supposed/ to get put back together
automatically. If they do not, you do it manually via Message | Combine and
Decode on the Menu Bar.
See Combine and Decode and Combining Multipart Messages in Help.
I would think WinMail is the same, but to be sure you would have to ask in
that newsgroup.

| keeping multi-part messages on server? |

I was trying to send a message with large attachment to several of my
computers in different locations. The systems are set to leave messages on
the server and messages are set to break apart into 2 meg parts.
The message had a 20 meg zip file and was sent fine from an XP Pro machine
and broken into several parts.
On the same machine the message was sent from, I later received all the
message parts and to my surprise, when all parts were recieved, OE6
automatically re-combined the parts into a single message and moved all the
parts to the deleted folder. All fine and well but when I tried to access
the message from another machine (Vista sp1), the parts appeared to still be
on the server but would not recombine properly (using combine and decode).
The part messages each had a .dat attachment and upshot was that I could not
retrieve the original message.
Is there any way to retrieve multi-part messages properly?

Thanks Bruce.
Just taking it one step at a time. I often work with multi-part nessages
through newsgroups and those have to be manually re-combined. Based on that,
I was surprised that in mail, the multi-parts automatically combined.
What I was really questioning was that I wanted to leave the message parts
on the server so that they could be retrieved from a different machine
(sending the message to my own account). It seemed that the process of
combining the parts alters the portion left on the server so that they would
no longer combine on the other machine. (does that make sense?)

Downloading the parts won't affect what's left on the server. The only
thing the POP3 protocol can do is tell the server to delete the message
after downloading.
My suspicion would be that anti-virus scanning e-mail or anti-spam on
the Vista PC is altering the message headers causing the problem with
the combine. Take a look at the message source on the parts on Vista.
The header of each message should end
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: message/partial;
total=xxx;
id="zzzzzzzz";
number=by
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198
followed by a blank line and a portion of the original message.
The total=xxx is the number of parts, id="zzzzzzzz"; is some unique
string for the message and number=by is 1 for the first part, 2 for the
second, etc.

ok, will look at that on the Vista end and try to figure it out. I just sent
a multi-part message to a friend who is running XP (not sure which email
client thought). He got the messages in parts and was trying to combine
them. (He's an IT type but just had an impacted tooth removed and on meds so
I'll cut him some slack). Waiting to hear if he got it properly.
Thanks for the information.
