cnvtmbox --
convert XENIX-style mailboxes to MMDF format
Syntax
/usr/mmdf/bin/cnvtmbox [ -c | -o ]
old_mailbox [ new_mailbox ]
Description
cnvtmbox converts a mailbox (old_mailbox)
either from the XENIX-style (the older UNIX-style) format to
MMDF format or from MMDF format to XENIX format.
Generally, mailboxes in MMDF format use <Ctrl>A to delimit
messages; XENIX format uses lines beginning with ``From <Space>''
to delimit between messages.
(You can change the message-delimiter character using
the MMBXPREF and MMBXSUFF keywords in the
mmdftailor(F)
file.
If new_mailbox is specified, cnvtmbox
places the converted mailbox in this folder: otherwise,
this utility writes the converted mailbox to stdout.
The options to cnvtmbox are:
-c-
Converts XENIX-style or mixed-format mailbox to MMDF
(generally <Ctrl>A-delimited) format.
If no options are specified, -c is the default.
-o-
Converts MMDF or mixed-format mailbox to XENIX-style
(or old UNIX-style) format.
