I wonder if anyone has some insight here and could enlighten me: I would like to know of a _Linux_ mailer/mailing system which saves received mails in the "raw" format it is downloaded, i.e. with the RFCs- induced first line of "+OK [plus some chars or none]" as a start marker of a mail item, and a line with a single dot only as end marker.
The _earlier_ Net$crape-Mail (under the win$.9x) still did this. (I have no means to look at later versions.) Among the - few! - Linux mailers I had the time/leisure to set up, there was none which would not re-format the raw download stream storage with a "From [plus address]" text as the start-line and suppressing the dot-line EOM[ail] marker (and consequentially, corrupting any mail body line starting with "From ".) The quest is for a Linux mailer which would allow copy/transfer back-and- forth with the DOS mailers which all store downloaded mail - if as single file per item or a file-"folder" of consecutive items - in the raw format received; and to access older archives from such DOS mailers with an Linux mailer able to read such. (BTW, the LF-only linebreak in *nix files vs. the CR-LF in the DOS/Win$ world is the lesser issue in this context. It seems that some Linux mailers digest the Net-standard CR-LF without hickups.) // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2003-11-05 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
