Yes. Of course you can and the best way I know is with a www4mail server.
Send a message to any one of these servers:

Although I receive my ACCMAIL digest intact using Juno E-mail, when I
forward the digests to my office (which uses GroupWise), there is a
severe truncation problem.
Juno has a limit of 64K and does not forward attachments. GroupWise has
a limit of 8192 bytes and converts anything over that size to an
attachment.
In some cases the digest is not converted to an attachment, although
clearly all digests are of a size that ought to be converted. In such a
case I seem to get a document of 2 pages. In some other cases, most of
the attachment is successfully transmitted, but not all. In some cases,
the entire document is s uccessfully transmitted.
My reason for forwarding is the desire to print on an H-P LaserJet III
printer. My home printer is a tractor-fed device and it is not
convenient to use it for a longer document. Although I can convert Juno
E-mails to .txt files and print them from a diskette, the DOS print
command prints them in the office in a ridiculously small format, and I
haven't figured how to make this LaserJet print in a standard Courier
font.
So there are three places we might look to find the truncation problem:
in the E-mail client program (since I have a problem with GroupWise but
not with Juno), with the ISP or whatever serves as intermediary (since I
have a problem at the office, which receives everything through a
gateway), and with the document itself (it is possible that the document
contains a control character that makes the E-mail client or the gateway
go goofy).

Me too.But just in the last week it began.I thought it's because of
my small mailbox (and I think yet really one reason is this).
I wait for other's replies to conclude if this is server's problem.

There's a complete list in the documentation of Listserv. The file name is something
like "LISTSERV MEMO".

As a rookie in cyberspace,I appreciate very much of somebodies who
generously share their invaluable knowledge with others.
For me, Gerry, Alan, Uzi, Dr Bob and others that I may forget now
are master teachers.I feel pity just because I don't see some other
names here (and in Help-Net) like Gurus of internet for dummies.
Do they have their own mailing list or no list at all?
Now that I strayed form main topics,I like to add some friendly
advices for newcommers (especially Asians and Middle-Easterns):
The least act to thank these persons is to read carefully their
guides and also Netiquette of Patrick Crispans before sending any
email question to the list.It will be helpful to lurk some days
without sending any mail for newcommers of every mailing list.
Thank you masters!

Subject: CAN'T GET ZIPPED STUFF.
I use Outlook Express+Win 98. When i download a zipped file using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to get zipped files from the same site,
the messages are split up into separate sections. The 1st message contains a zip file
attachment, but its size is a small fraction
of what the whole zip should be. The rest of the messages have garbled text in the
body, no atchmnt. (text which you find if you
open an executable in notepad) Help me find a way to 'combine' the message and make it
readableto winzip. the first atchmnt is 'not
a complete zip file'. that's what winzip says.

The first file is UUencoded and the remaining are split into parts. M$
Outlook Express only sees a UUE header in the first part, and so
doesn't consider the other parts to be encoded files, just text. All
messages are parts of the same file.
Zakaria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> posted this as his solution on 12Jan99:
1. Save the mail as .eml file.
For example: c:\temp\file1.eml, file2.eml, file3.eml and file4.eml
2. Run Dos Prompt and in the black box type:
C:\Temp>copy file1.eml+file2.eml+file3.eml+file4.eml file.eml
3. Run WordPad and open file.eml
4. Remove anything between M..... and the other M.....
Like From:, Subject:, etc
5. Save it
6. Double Click It from Windows Explorer
7. Outlook Express will (hopefully) decode the file
8. Save the file
9. Rename it when necessary
Tips:
1. You can change filename in "begin filename.ext 777" to whatever
you ask in the first place so you don't have to rename it.
2. If you have WinZip you can do it in three step. Do Step 1 and 2
but change the extension to .uue. Open it with WinZip and youre done.
No editing. No mis-delete.

Three answers:
1) you can't do it
2) exception to above is that Simtel will make available a temporary
directory for uploading shareware files ONLY
3) Steve Harris is working on a program that will supposedly allow
this. However, I had not used it nor do I know if/when it will be
finished.

ncurses is the Gnu port of curses so this should help...
