About MailboxFileToBeMail:
MailboxFileToBeMail is a utility program that converts Unix mbox (mailbox) files (the kind that Pine uses) into e-mail files for use with BeOS. It also handles news articles from rn and trn.

MailboxFileToBeMail is a utility program that converts Unix mailbox (mbox) files (the kind that Pine uses) into e-mail files for use with BeOS. It also handles news files from rn and trn, which have messages very similar to mail messages but with a different separator line. The input files store multiple mail messages in text format separated by "From ..." lines or "Article ..." lines. The output is a bunch of separate files, each one with one message plus BeOS BFS attributes describing that message. For convenience, all the messages that were from one file are put in a specified directory.

Command line driven. Version 1.7 and up (which have support for international character sets (as requested by "MFC" Zahar from Russia) and the Thread attribute) require the libmail.so that comes with the Mail Daemon Replacement (MDR) version 2.2.6 or later (http://www.bebits.com/app/2289 or http://sourceforge.net/projects/bemaildaemon/). Use version 1.6 (get it from the version history pages on BeBits) if you don't want to install MDR.

Usage:

MailboxFileToBeMail [-s] InputFile [OutputDirectory]

MailboxFileToBeMail is released to the public domain. You can do whatever you want with it. However, all benefits and loses are yours, not mine.

Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
Use the MDR library date parsing, so it handles newer date formats. Added international character support for the Subject and From fields that are used to construct the file names. Also it now uses more MDR compatible file names (includes thread subject, less weird characters), sets the priority attribute, etc.
