- Can anyone give me an idea as to what elm is looking for in the
- so-called mail folder format.
-
- The problem is, I have converted a bunch of mh folders to mail
- and the users want to use elm to utilize their mail with.
-
- After putting everything into mail format folder, I can access
- these folders successfully with just about Berkeley mail program
- going (mail, Mail, xmail, xmailtool, mailtool, etc.) except for
- elm, which works fine on some folders, and give a:
-
- Reading in /nfs/penguin/home/users/roy/mail/coads, message: 0
- Folder is corrupt!! I can't read it!!
-
- type message on other, having no bearing on the size of the folder.
-
-
- What is different about how elm looks at folders as opposed to
- generic Berkeley mail?
-
- NOTE: I'm using elm 2.3 PL11
