Really? Can't ask him to try a little harder? His messages are probably
being split because they're too large, and they're too large because
word is a piece of poop. A word doc containing 'Hello world' is
something like 40k. Get him to send you text instead of that .doc
garbage.

I'm sure there's a way to reconstruct that data, but I haven't the time
right now to figure out its convolutions. Hopefully someone else can
help you with it.

On the view attachments screen, there is an edit-type command, bound to
^E by default.

good times,
