|

The command @kbd{M-x unrmail} converts a file in Rmail format to inbox
|
||||
format (also known as the system mailbox format), so that you can use it
|
||||
with other mail-editing tools. You must specify two arguments, the name
|
||||
of the Rmail file and the name to use for the converted file. @kbd{M-x
|
||||
unrmail} does not alter the Rmail file itself.

format (also known as the system mailbox, or mbox, format), so that
|

you can use it with other mail-editing tools. You must specify two
|

converted file. @kbd{M-x unrmail} does not alter the Rmail file itself.
|

|

@pindex b2m
|
||||
@kbd{M-x unrmail} is useful if you can run Emacs on the machine
|
||||
where the Rmail file resides, or can access the Rmail file remotely
|
||||
(@pxref{Remote Files}) from a machine where Emacs is installed. If
|
||||
accessing Rmail files from Emacs is impossible, you can use the
|
||||
@command{b2m} program instead. @command{b2m} is part of the Emacs
|
||||
distribution, it is installed into the same directory where all the
|
||||
other auxiliary programs (@command{etags} etc.) are installed, and its
|
||||
source is available in the Emacs source distribution, so that you
|
||||
could copy the source to the target machine and compile it there.
|
||||
|
||||
To convert a file @file{@var{babyl-file}} into @file{@var{mbox-file}},
|
||||
invoke @command{b2m} like this:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
b2m < @var{babyl-file} > @var{mbox-file}
|
||||
@end example
