cnvtmbox(ADM) 19 June 1992 cnvtmbox(ADM) Name cnvtmbox - convert XENIX-style mailboxes to MMDF format Syntax /usr/mmdf/bin/cnvtmbox [ -c | -o ] old_mailbox [ new_mailbox ] Description cnvtmbox converts a mailbox (old_mailbox) either from the XENIX-style (the older UNIX-style) format to MMDF format or from MMDF format to XENIX format. Generally, mailboxes in MMDF format use <Ctrl>A to delimit mes- sages; XENIX format uses lines beginning with ``From <Space>'' to delimit between messages. (You can change the message-delimiter character using the MMBXPREF and MMBXSUFF keywords in the /usr/mmdf/mmdftailor file. For more information, see the mmdftailor(F) manual page.) If new_mailbox is specified, cnvtmbox places the converted mailbox in this folder: otherwise, this utility writes the converted mailbox to stdout. The options to cnvtmbox are: c Converts XENIX-style or mixed-format mailbox to MMDF (generally <Ctrl>a-delimited) format. If no options are specified, -c is the default. o Converts MMDF or mixed-format mailbox to XENIX-style (or old UNIX- style) format.
