- An even easier way to do that would be to use the cc:Mail Import
- program...the general format of a Import-able message is...
-
- Message:
- From: username at poname
- To: username at poname
- Subject: message subject
- Contents:
- [The rest of the message follows here...]
-
- All that stuff is contained in just a plain ASCII file...there are
- plenty more options available, but you'll hafta to check the manuals on
- that one...
