I have a file consisting of a large number of mail messages that have been concatenated together with a string of "=" between each message. I wrote an awk script which replaced each string of "=" with a "From <username> <date>" line, which I thought should have been enough to convince VM that it was a regular mail folder. This kind of worked: the summary buffer looked like this: -> 1 foo@bar.com Dec 23 38/1487 "" 2 U foo1@bar.com Dec 23 39/1380 "" 3 U jim@nowhere.edu Dec 23 26/913 "" 4 U blah%blech.boo.zi Dec 23 39/1690 "" . . . Any ideas as to what is wrong? The fake date, "Dec 23" worked properly, and the messages are all there, but the subjects are missing. In addition, large hunks of header are shown when I display a message. The beginning of the messages look like this: From foo@bar.com Mon, 23 Dec 1991 10:16:01 -0800 Status: RO X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] ["1380" "Mon" "23" "December" "1991" "10:16:01" "-0800" "foo@bar.com" "foo@bar.com" nil "39" "" "^From:" nil nil "12"]) What obvious delimiter problem am I missing? Ta, Gordon. -- Gordon.
