PACKF(1) General Commands Manual PACKF(1) NAME packf - pack messages in nmh folder into a single file SYNOPSIS packf [-help] [-version] [+folder] [msgs] [-file name] [-mbox] [-mmdf] DESCRIPTION packf will pack copies of messages from a folder, into a single file. If the -mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.). If the -mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline. You may specify the name of the file in which to pack messages with the -file name switch. If you do not specify the name of the file, it will de- fault to "msgbox". If the given file name points to an existing file, then the specified mes- sages will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be created and the messages appended. packf makes an mbox-style delimiter by examining the first line of the mes- sage. If the first line is a "Return-Path" field, its address and the cur- rent date and time are used. Otherwise, if the first line has an "X-Enve- lope-From" field, its contents (which should already be in the correct for- mat) are used. Otherwise, a dummy address and the current date and time are used. Messages that are packed by packf can be unpacked using inc.
