most likely you received the file UUencoded (default encoding done by by
ftpmail for binary files)
You need to save the contents of each message into a text file WITHOUT
system headers and without From;, To, Sent, Subj lines.
Then you can re-combine this text files into one single text file
It can be done just the same way you re-combined chunks from www4mail.
Dont know how to re-combine chunks? For answers
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now a bit of more automation for MS Outlook users (I mean NOT Outlook
Express but big Outlook) I can offer you a VBA script that saves uuencoded
messages without headers and adds them extensions .001, .002 etc in the
right order, so this files are ready to be recombined by X-Split or similar
software. Write me off-list if you are intrerested.

Other mailers can do it easily without any scripting. But I can not give a
detailed recipe as I am not experienced with other mail clients.
I tried this in "The Bat!" this way: I left only %TEXT in message save
template. Then saved several messages into one text file. Still one blank
line appears between neighbouring messages. May be it is a bug of The Bat!.
May be save template needs to be somehow more sophisticated. Dunno.

Then your big text file need to be decoded by UUdeview
http://www.miken.com/uud/uud32_14/Uud32Setup.exe (613557 bytes) or
well-known WinZip or FastCode 32 (ftp.nsk.su/.3/windows/encode/fcode325.zip,
80kb) or by a bunch of other archivers.

>  and how many quotas for a user within a week?
as far as I know , no weekly quotas. But single file limit does exist and it
varies from one ftpmail server to another.
F.e. for [EMAIL PROTECTED] max file size is 15 Mb and if the job is
not completed during one hour, ftpmail stops retrying.
