*copypasta*
To do it you can initiate a post and click on attachments. Hit the Add
button, highlight a queued list then "open". This attaches them all to
the post. Then click on properties at the bottom of the attachments
window and check the box for "send large messages as multiple
messages"
Set the format drop down box to Yenc and it seems work at default
settings. Yenc is apparently able to vary the line lengths depending
on the file size. Not sure if uuencode can.
Problem as mentioned above is there doesn't seem to be a way to append
filenames to the subject lines for the multiple posts. Each one is
named the same as the original post but they are numbered like
(01/32), (02/32) and so on so it's not too bad.
*end copypasta*
...which is where I end up...frustrated because I wanna see each file
name. Looking at the various forks of PP but will probably go with
camelpost, just like Doc.
