Why do you refer to these archives as being of Maildir mailing lists? What is the actual software that created them. > Those archives don't contain new, cur and tmp folders all > the scripts I've spotted at looked for.

This looks vaguely like Maildir, except Maildir has no index file. What is in the index file(s)? What is the difference between 0 and 1? Do they each contain some complete (including all headers) messages, i.e. each contains a set of messages that combined are all the messages, or does one of them contain message headers and the other bodies, or does one contain messages and the other contain metadata about the messages? > Please, does this made sense for you?

You just need to add a *nix From_ separator to the beginning of each complete message and concatenate them. If you can show me what's actually in some of those files, I could possibly create a conversion script for you. It could be as simple as something like cat archives/0/* archives/1/* > mbox except for the index files, but probably not. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
