=0A    Then the server will send article 1, 2, 3 in separate mails=0A=0A   =
 The problem with this scheme is that, for each get command the server=0A  =
  has to start a sendmail process.  Imagine you try to get 1-100 articles=
=0A    in this way.  It will be a big burden for the server machine.=0A=0A =
   The solution is to use # mget=0A    For example, we want to get article =
1-9:=0A     % echo "# mget ? 30" | mail <ML address>=0A=0A    Like ftp mget=
 command, you can use regular expression.  In this case,=0A    ? will match=
 all files with single character file name, therefore it=0A    matches 1 to=
 9 in spool directory.  Likewise, * will match all articles,=0A    ?? will =
match article 10-99=0A=0A    Mail interval argument is not necessarily need=
ed.  If a reply=0A    is longer than 1000 lines, ML server will split it in=
to multiple=0A    mails every 1000 lines.  In this example, the server will=
 send=0A    each of these mails at the specified interval of 30 seconds (de=
fault=0A    is 5 minutes)  This argument is usually used in the case like :=
 you=0A    only want to receive 2-3 mails for each UUCP polling interval.  =
If your=0A    machine is IP-reachable and you are confident that it can han=
dle=0A    lots of incoming mails at the same time, probably you don't need =
to=0A    worry about this argument.=0A=0A    The requested files will be ta=
r+gzip+uuencode-d.  If the result file=0A    is longer than 1000 lines, the=
 server will split it.  You'll have=0A    to concatenate them into one file=
