- Is your VAX running Ultrix? Then the answer is probably yes, otherwise the

- PC Eudora uses the same format as standard Unix mailboxes/mail spool files.
- The only tricky thing is to make sure that you get the end-of-line
- conventions correct when you transfer the mailboxes. Unix boxes use \n (LF)
- for end-of-line, and PCs use \r\n (CR-LF). If you ftp the mailboxes from
- your Vax to your PC in ascii mode, the translation will be done for you.
- Put the mailboxes in your mail directory and add an .MBX extension to them
- so that Eudora will know that they're mailboxes.
