- Hi,
-
- You probably know the scenario - not having MH, or other decent mail
- handler, I used RMAIL in emacs up to the point of having very very
- large mailbox files (even with constant refiling I can't seem to keep
- pace). Now, suddenly (for various reasons), mh becomes available.
- Joy! Every message in its own file! But wait, how to get these
- pesky babyl format files converted into something I can get then 'inc'?
- Hmmmm!
-
- I figure asking for something that converts Babyl files into multiple
- files, mh style, would be too much to ask for but what the heck, that
- would also do just as well (or even better).
-
- Any pointers? Please help a desperate man who is otherwise contemplating
- perl.. (shudder).
