Any file(s) found, will be sent as seperate messages.

The address is given there right after the "From:",  and much of
the rest of it isn't particularly important -- the binary vs. ascii thing
is automatic,  the subject line is irrelevant,  and telling it "get
files" (without the quotes) will get you the whole list of what's
here.
