Hmmm - and hmm - I was in a similar position when I worked at Dragon Systems in the 90's. Is your Groupwise email client resident in your desktop PC? Can you telnet to the pop3 port (110) on your corporate email server? If you can, its likely that you can use fetchmail to get your email off their server and read it into your linux box. As for correcting the internal format of Groupwise based emails:... I still have a Perl fragment hanging around here - somewhere.... I can send it to you if you want. It used to work but its probably obsolete since groupwise formats have probably changed. Its also the first thing I ever wrote in Perl so its even uglier than most Perl. :-) You could point them at : http://www.rhil.org/docs/rhil-guide.html And explain that all the technical email lists on the internet insist on this format so they need to provide you with an alternate path/mechanism to communicate with those areas of the internet. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. jkinz@xxxxxxxx copyright 2003.
