If you are using another e-mail program, a method similar to the above may also work with your program. Be aware that some e-mail programs may crash or cut off parts of unusually large messages, so saving them as files without opening them is the preferred method.
Your e-mail program may save a message attachment as an external file in a folder designated to receive them. In that case, it may automatically be named; you may wish to rename it, using a .UUE extension, for maximum convenience.
Sometimes you may receive multiple messages, where a file is split up into more than one message because of size limitations. You will need to use a text editor or the DOS COPY file command to paste the files together into one large file, and save it as a text file with a .UUE extension.
