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 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.
