A." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Off-line research service which emails results >From the blurb: http://karnak.com/ is an Internet research tool that confidentially saves your queries and search results, works on finding more off-line, then e-mail you the results. The site allows you to refine your research over time. You'll never have to review the same site twice again! Its also got some great custom search and reporting features. It works off-line, _e-mails_ results, is completely portable, and is FREE! -- Sriram N.

So for files larger than 6Mb you must use gophermail, the bitftp mailer at Princeton, or an ftpmail server that delivers by parts.
