MailConverter is a utility which converts disparate mail and mail-like formats into sendmail format, suitable for use with Eudora or Z-Mail. It will also create and burst digests, and import a few kinds of nickname files. It can be used in conjunction with Eumorpha to import all supported formats into Claris Emailer.

For descriptions of the menus and the dialogs, see the corresponding chapters, below. Basic operations are covered in The File Menu, basic configuration options are covered in The Settings Dialog, and significant caveats are described in Caveats And Comments. Everyone should have at least a glance at these chapters. Important notes about digest handling can be found in Digest And Pseudo-Digests -- have a look at this if you ever convert digests. More sophisticated operations are covered in The Mailboxes Menu and The Filter Menu. The appendices include some preliminary notes on using MailConverter with Z-Mail, and a simple example of a header-filter file.
