packf − pack messages in mh folder into a single mbox file
packf |
[+folder] [msgs] [−Version] [−help] |
Packf will pack copies of messages from a folder, into mbox format and print it to the standard output.
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.
$HOME/.mmh/profile The user profile
Path: To

Current−Folder: To find the default current folder
inc(1)
‘+folder’

‘msgs’ defaults to all
If a folder is given, it will become the current folder. The first message packed will become the current message.
