Hello ,
I'm sorry for asking so newb question i tried to help with the Fonts
issue (to send the actual files) what i did was :
tar -cvvjf fonts.tar.bz2 /opt/windows/Fonts

Then i split the file using gnu split:
split -d -a 4 --line-bytes=12M fonts.tar.bz2 fonts0

then using a simple bash script i gave mutt to send the file :

#!/bin/bash

for i in `ls fonts0*`
do
  echo "Sending another part from file fonts.tar.bz2 : $i" | mutt -s
"Fonts $i" someuser at gmail.com;
done;

Exim sent the files i used gmail as my smart host (Since Gmail rejects
dynamic ip servers ) :

After downloading and the user complained that the files are garbled so
i downloaded the sent file and reattached them :
cat fonts0* >> fonts.tar.bz2
then tried to untar it .
tar -xvvjf fonts.tar.bz2

but some thing was since bunzip complained that the file is corrupted.

I can't understand what am i doing wrong , im sure it some thing simple
but i can't figure out what.
