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