packf

PACKF(1)							     [nmh-1.5]								  PACKF(1)

NAME

       packf - pack messages in nmh folder into a single file

SYNOPSIS

       packf [+folder] [msgs] [-file name] [-mbox] [-mmdf] [-version] [-help]

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 use with the -file name switch.  If you do not specify the name of the file, it will
       default to "msgbox".

       If the given file name points to an existing file, then the specified messages 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 message.  If the first line is a "Return-Path" field, its address
       and the current date and time are used.	Otherwise, if the first line has an "X-Envelope-From" field, its contents (which should already be
       in the correct format) 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.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile
       .msgbox.map		  A binary index of the file

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:	    To find the default current folder
       Msg-Protect:	    To set mode when creating a new `file'

SEE ALSO

       inc(1), msh(1)

DEFAULTS

       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `msgs' defaults to all
       `-mbox'
       `-file ./msgbox'

CONTEXT

       If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.  The first message packed will become the current message.
