No, but POP mail is stored in the 'normal' mail files (without 
extension), which are in normal UNIX mbox format.

In theory, I could write this script in a way that it parses the mail 
files themselves in order to display the list of messages. This is what 
I'm going to do if nobody can provide a document with the .msf 
definition, or if the .msf format is too complicated.

However, parsing the entire mail file (which may be 100s of MBs big) 
would be super slow, especially when it's done in PHP. Therefore, I'd 
like to use the existing .msf files for better performance.

bye,
Till
