- Mailbox-to-Textfile/HTML Conversion Utility
- -------------------------------------------
- Installation:
- - Use an 'Unzip' utility to unzip the files to a new or existing
- folder on your hard disk.
-
- That's it! You should now be able to run "mail2txt"!
-
- The program is fully functional software ... there no timers, counters or
- disabled functions. If you like it, please register it (see below)!
-
- Description
- --------------------------------------
- This program is a utility that allows you to bulk extract messages from
- Eudora mailbox files (as well as UNIX compatible mailboxes) and store the
- extracted messages as pure text or HTML files. The utility also includes a
- separate function to set file date/time information to any value desired
- (within operating system limitations).
-
- The source files must have an extension of '.mbx' for the utility to locate
- them.
-
- Storing messages individually as pure text files allows you to view and
- manipulate the messages with standard file utilities, independent of
- platform. You don't need an e-mail client to view the messages. Storing
- messages as HTML files allows you (and others) to view the messages using a
- Web browser.
-
- The utility is a 32 bit application written to function under Win95/NT. It
- will not run under Win3.x. It has been tested with Eudora Pro versions 2.2
- and 3.0, but it should work with earlier versions of Eudora Pro and Eudora
- Lite.
-
- What makes this utility unique is that it can process individual or
- multiple mailboxes, extract each e-mail message, copy any attachments, and
- store the e-mail messages as individual files. The files will have the
- 'Subject' of the message as the filename, and the date of the file is set
- to the 'Date' sent of the message. The sender can also be identified in
- the filename if you desire.
-
- This utility allows e-mail messages to be treated, stored, archived, filed,
- sorted and saved in many different ways. For example, if you want to put
- e-mail messages on a server for others to view, you can simply extract the
- messages from your mailbox file(s) to a server. Extraction to network
- drives is also supported.
-
- You could also use your 'zip' utility to take store your individual e-mail
- messages in a greatly compacted form to preserve disk space for archival
- purposes.
-
