| 22 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 23 | \fIPackf\fR will pack copies of messages from a folder, into a single |
|---|
| 24 | file. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | If the `-mbox' switch is given (the default), then the messages are |
|---|
| 27 | separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used |
|---|
| 28 | by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.). |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | If the `-mmdf' switch is given, then the messages are separated by |
|---|
| 31 | mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four |
|---|
| 32 | CTRL\-A's and a newline. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | You may specify the name of the file in which to use with the |
|---|
| 35 | `\-file\ name' switch. If you do specify the name of the file, it |
|---|
| 36 | will default to `msgbox'. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | If the given file name points to an existing file, then the specified |
|---|
| 39 | messages will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file |
|---|
| 40 | will be created and the messages appended. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | Messages that are packed by \fIpackf\fR can be unpacked using |
|---|
| 43 | \fIinc\fR. |
