| | 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). |

| | 60 | *) cat <<'EOM' |
| | 61 | |
| | 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 |
| | 65 | case "$shsharp" in |
| | 66 | false) echo "comments in mbox.saver.std.";; |
| | 67 | true) echo "comments in the shell script itself.";; |
