splitmail++(1)
NAME
splitmail++ - split mailbox files prior to indexing
SYNOPSIS
splitmail++ -pprefix [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
splitmail++ is a utility to split a mailbox file (or standard input)
comprised of multiple messages into multiple files of individual messages to facilitate indexing with index++(1). The generated files have
5-digit increasing numbers appended to a common prefix. If the mailbox
file has some non-mail header, then this is dumped to a file with the
same prefix and _junk_header as the suffix.
OPTIONS
-pprefix Specifies the common prefix.
EXAMPLE
- The command:
- splitmail++ -p msg sent_messages
- splits the mailbox sent_messages into files named msg.00001, msg.00002, and so on. Any non-mail header gets dumped to a file named msg_junk_header.
NOTE
This utility hasn't been exhaustively tested.
