mbox if a single file with messages separated by an empty line with each message starting with ``From ''. The maildir format is championed by djb an is a directory with three subdirectories and each message is a single file in one of the three subdirectories depending on its status. mbx, championed by UWash, is a single file that is indexed (faster) and allows concurrent access but is not safe over NFS. The mailutil utility distributed with pine can convert mbox to mbx. http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=1&topic=mailutil dd -- David Dooling _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
