mexport — export messages as mbox file
SYNOPSIS
mexport [−S] msgs ...
DESCRIPTION
mexport writes the specified msgs to the standard output as an MBOXRD file. (
See mmsg(7) for the message argument syntax. )
If no msgs are specified, mexport reads filenames from the standard input, or uses the messages in the current sequence if used interactively.
mexport uses the ‘Return-Path:’ (or ‘X-Envelope-To:’) and ‘Date:’ headers from each message for the mbox ‘From ’ line.
The options are as follows:
−S
Add ‘Status:’ and ‘X-Status:’ headers according to the msgs maildir flags.
EXIT STATUS
The mexport utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
