If no filenames are given on the command line, standard input will
be processed as a single message. If one or more filenames are given on the
command line, each will be processed according to the following rules:
- * If the filename is '-', standard input will be processed as a
single
- message (may only be usefully given once).
- * If the filename starts with '+' it will be processed as an MH
folder.
- * If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
- 'cur', it will be processed as a Maildir.
- * If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
- 'Mail', it will be processed as an MH Mailbox.
- * If the filename is a directory and not a Maildir nor an MH Mailbox,
it
- will be processed as a Mailbox directory consisting of just .txt and
.lorien files.
- * Otherwise, the filename is treated as a Unix-style mailbox
(messages
- begin on a line starting with 'From ').
Output is always to standard output as a Unix-style mailbox.
