From MAILER-DAEMON Fri Feb 21 13:19:27 2020
Date: 21 Feb 2020 13:19:27 +0100
From: Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON@server>
Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
Message-ID: <1582287567@server>
X-IMAP: 1582082091 0000000097
Status: RO

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message.  It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.

Thanks.

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
