44 | In saving articles, $package wants to differentiate between saving to | |
45 | mailbox format files and normal files. It does this by examining the | |
46 | first character of the file in question. On most systems the first line | |
47 | starts with "From ...", so the first character is an F. Other systems | |
48 | use magic cookies like control codes between articles, so one of those | |
49 | would be first. For example, MMDF messages are separated with lines of | |
50 | four control-A's (you may specify one as ^A, i.e. caret A). | |

62 | You will need to edit the shell script mbox.saver to properly append an | |
63 | article to a mailbox. The arguments to the script are documented in | |
64 | EOM | |
