14 # If I remember correctly MH folders are just directories, with one
|
|
|
15 # message per file. No UNIX From lines control-As or any of that
|
|
|
16 # cruft. So you need to roll these messages into one file that VM
|
|
|
17 # can handle. To get UNIX From style folders this script ought to
|
|
|
18 # do it. Run it like this
|
|
|
19 #
|
|
|
20 # % mh-to-vm.sh MH-folder-directory new-VM-folder-file
|
|
|
21 #
|
|
|
22 # It doesn't remove anything so if it doesn't work, then no harm done.
