Hi. I tried to post this a while back, but apparently it never got anywhere. I originally tried to crrosspost to comp.mail.elm, but I have to assume that's where the problem was, since I don't have trouble posting regularly. I'm moving a bunch of my old files offline. Among them some rather large Mailbox files. Now, I like the way Mail and Elm store all of the messages in a single file, but I can't easily access them on my PC without Elm. So, I'm looking for some sort of program that can handle elm mailbox files on a PC. So why am I posting here? Well, considering that Gnu Emacs is capable of damn near anything, I'm wondering if anybody has written or has some pointers for writing some sort of .el file that will allow me to look at my mail file using Gnu Emacs or oneof the Emacs clones that are around for the PC (has gnuemacs been ported to PC? I haven't seen it...). I would also love to have an ELM-style menu interface for editing extremely large files (yes, I know about Outline mode, and it does come in handy, but it isn't quite sufficient). Any suggestions or ideas out there? Steven J.
