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 determine the user's mail storage
^Current-Folder:~^To find the default current folder

inc(1)

`+folder' defaults to the current 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.
