Command: get

  Format: get [<options>] <file>

Retrives a file in the selected list's storage space.  The contents of the
file are mailed to the requesting user in a separate message.

<options> specify one or more options to use when sending the message to
the requesting user.  You can specify one or more of:

  -c         compress the file, using normal UNIX compression (i.e. producing
             a .Z file)
  -g         GNU-zip the file, using GNU's "zip" program (i.e. producing a
             .gz file)
  -m         encode the file using MIME
  -s <spec>  split the file according to the <spec>; see below
  -u         encode the file using the common UNIX "uuencode" method

<spec> describes how to split the file into multiple pieces of e-mail.
The parameter takes the form "nnnu" where "nnn" is a number and "u" is a
unit.  Valid units are "b" (bytes), "k" (kilobytes), "m" (megabytes) and
"l" (lines).  For example, "-s 40l" would generate as many pieces of
e-mail as it takes to mail the file to you, where each piece does not
exceed 40 lines of text; "-s 10k" would restrict the size of each piece
of e-mail to 10240 bytes.

You may not combine -c and -g.  This is because you can't both compress
and gzip a file and get meaningful results.

You may not combine -m and -u.  This is because encoding a file with MIME
methods which has already been uuencoded (or vice-versa) is silly.

You may not combine -m and -s.  This is because listmanager does not yet
support multipart MIME transmissions.

If -s is used, you must not have selected either -g or -c, OR you must
select -u.  This is ensures that the mail listmanager sends to you
is text, either raw text or the uuencoded result of a compression of text.

NOTE: From the UNIX command line prompt, "get" simply calls the pager
(e.g. "more") to display the contents of the file.  The <options> are
not available.
