Mail Converter

MailConverter by R Shapiro is an utility which converts mail and mail-like files of various sorts into Eudora or Z-Mail mailboxes. It can also be used in conjunction with Eumorpha to import files into Claris Emailer. In addition it can be used to generate rfc934 digests and to import a few kinds of nicknames into Eudora. MailConverter works on several kinds of input files: Claris Emailer, mmdf, babyl, America Online, LeeMail, Pine, Elm, MacEMail, PopMail, eWorld, Genie, PC Eudora, Ricemail; files saved from several news programs (NewsWatcher, nn, gnus); files saved from Eudora or Z-Mail; and any other text files that have typical mail headers at the beginning. Folders of files (recursively) can also be converted. Files which appear to be digests will automatically be burst. MailConverter will, of course, also inter-convert between Eudora and Z-Mail. Finally, it will import (only into Eudora) three sorts of address books (Pine, MacEMail, Emailer), and it will generate rfc934 digests out of Eudora/Z-Mail mailboxes. In addition, MailConverter has limited support for conversion of files from other mail programs, but in these cases you must first generate a text file, using that mail program itself. Don't bother trying to convert the raw binary data. Conversion of these formats is not "officially" supported: it may work for your examples, it may not. Some mail programs for which this very limited conversion applies: cc:Mail, vmsMail, MSMail, and CompuServe mail. I regularly print mailing lists and newsgroup messages (saved and appended to a file with MT-NewsWatcher) with "Save A Tree". MailConverter can strip off redundant headers from newsgroup messages making the file considerably smaller.
