USENET QUESTION

[tantone]

I use Outlook Express for my newsgroups. How do I view attachments that have multiple attachments spread out over many posts? Just in case that wasn't clear...I found a clip of a movie a while back and it was spread out over 28 posts. How do you consolidate all of that binary data into a working mpg?
Thanks
(I wouldn't repost something like this however I haven't been able to locate the answer anywhere else yet. Thanks again)

first thing, you should have all of the parts to the clip. If you have most of them you can get it to play anyway, but the clip will jump past the missing segment. Click the download to highlight the first part(or section) of the download (eg 1/5), now go to the last part of the download(eg 5/5), hold down "shift" while clicking on the last part of the download and everything from the first highlighted area to the last one you just "shift and clicked" on will be highlighted. right click on any of the highlighted downloads. Select "Combine and decode". Give it a few seconds and Outlook will display the clip as a whole.
