Description

   The SEND command sends the requested files back to you via
   electronic mail. Wild cards can be used in the file-spec
   parameter to specify multiple files. Each file is sent as a
   separate message.

   The optional extension parameter is supplied for compatibility
   with BITNET's LISTSERV file servers. When supplied, a period
   followed by the value of this parameter will be appended to the
   value of the file-spec parameter to form the actual file name to
   use. For instance, the command

   SEND NEWTAGS DESCRIPT

   is interpreted as a request for the file NEWTAGS.DESCRIPT and is
   equivalent to the command

   SEND NEWTAGS.DESCRIPT

   Large files can automatically be split into multiple smaller
   files prior to transmission; see the description of the MAXIMUM
   command for specific details. When the MAXIMUM command is used,
   it must be specified prior to the SEND command; e.g.,

   MAXIMUM BYTES 10000
   MAXIMUM LINES 1000
   SEND [BOOK]CHAPTER*.TXT

   Files can be read in a variety of ways; this can be controlled
   with the MODE command or the /MODE qualifier. Files containing
   non-text information must be encoded in some way; the ENCODING
   command or the /ENCODING qualifier control the encoding used.
   When using the MODE and ENCODING commands, be sure to specify
   them before the SEND command requiring their use.

   Use the DIRECTORY and INDEX commands to obtain information on
   available files which can be obtained with the SEND command.
