PACKF(1)                                    [nmh-1.2]                                    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.
