For MIME digest messages, MUAs like nmh are able to extract such messages out into individual files, which can be subsequently packed into mbox format. If you have mhonarc installed, you can use the mha-decode with the -dcd-digest option to have all digest messages extracted into separate files. --ewh _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list https://www.mail-archive.com/gossip@mail-archive.com https://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/mailman/options/gossip
