Anybody know of some software which will process an existing "mbox" file
and separate the mail according to who sent it, subject, etc. ?

Please e-mail replies.

Thanks to:
           Stephen R. van den Berg (AKA BuGless).    berg@physik.tu-muenchen.de
and 
           Steven D. Majewski		University of Virginia Physiology Dept.
           sdm7g@Virginia.EDU		

The short answer is that to do this one needs procmail, and/or formail.
Stephen van den Berg suggested the following:

]Get the procmail/formail combo, write yourself a suitable .procmailrc file
](which will mainly consist of a bunch of regular expressions and a bunch of
]folders you want the mail sorted into), and use the following command-line:
]
]	formail <mbox -s procmail
]
](Or, if you have a non-standard mailbox format, like digests and the like:
]
]	formail <mbox -ds procmail

Thanks again to both.               Dave Fisher  fisher@lyra.hac.com

Where can I get these programs? I couldn't find them in our UNIX file archive.

Sorry if this is a FAQ ;-)

I have a good friend, Anne, who lives in Bordeaux, France. We would
like to be able to send email to each other, but she doesn't have an
Internet address (yet). She does have access to the Minitel terminals
that are common in France. 

We'd like to know of any Internet hosts in Bordeaux, so she could get
an email address.

Also, if there is a way for us to communicate between the Internet and
the Minitel system, that would be great too!

Thanks for any help!
