DESCRIPTION
Conversion utility to convert Eudora mailboxes (already mostly mbox format) to real mbox formatted mailboxes, gone is all the html/x-flowed and other garbage.
Reads the TOC file and properly inserts both Status: and X-Status: headers so that mailers like mutt/pine/elm can properly tell what messages are read, new, replied, etc.
USAGE: eud2mbox.pl <mailbox_name>
convert mailbox_name.mbx and mailbox_name.toc to out/mailbox_name (a directory ./out must exist).
NOTES
- Monday 27 September 1999 18:35 CDT - Release 1.0. Pretty rough as-of-yet. Does not check for existence of directory ./out, does not allow for bulk-conversions. In other words, it works well when used exactly the way I use it. PLEASE experiment FIRST. Back up before attempting to use this product.
