You don't. Email messages are not a good medium for sending huge files. Many mail servers limit the size of the messages they accept to something like 1 MB, so you'd have to split the movie in an extremely inconvenient, huge number of short parts. There are other ways to do file transfers. FTP is, in fact, called ``File Transfer Protocol''. You could always fire up an ftpd in read-only, anonymous mode and invite your friend to download the file from you. > I know i know i read the man but its like this > [------------------------------------] long IMHO, the Handbook chapter on electronic email is more useful for Sendmail beginners, but I doubt people read it these days; which is rather unfortunate, given the amount of effort freebsd-doc people have put into writing it. - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
