Hi guys. I have a lot of messages from pmmail 2000 style which I would like to use from mutt since that is the primary source of my mail management. The deal is that pmmail stores each message one file per message with .msg extention. What I did was wrote a loop script that cats the .msg files into one large mailbox file. Example: for msg in `ls *.MSG` ;do cat $msg >> mailbox-temp done Now I have mailbox-temp which I converted to Unix since it was in dos format. When I try to open this from mutt it gives me an error that the mailbox is invalid. I looked at the mailbox itself and I notice that each new message in mutt starts with the from line and the headers follow. With the one I created each one starts with Received: from I'm assuming that the correct format is to have the from be the first line so that it's a standard mailbox. I'm trying to use vi to search for a blank line then the word Received: in the body to replace it with the blank line and not the word received so the first part of a new message starts with from as in the working mailboxes I have. The keys I pressed to try and get it to do this are: esc : s/^$^V^MReceived: but it's not working. The control-v is so that i can just hit another sequence and the actual control code is put there. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of the word Received: but only when it's the firs word after a blank line? -- Ever wonder if alternate worlds exist besides our own?
