NAME
hypetombox - convert a hypermail archive to an mbox file
SYNOPSIS
hypetombox [-a] [-R] [-H headers] [-d directory] [-m outfile] [-n address] [-S suffix]
DESCRIPTION
hypetombox converts a hypermail(1) archive back into a file in mbox format by scanning the current directory (or the one specified with -d) for hypermail-generated files and restoring the original rfc822 headers.
The following options may be used to control its behaviour:
- -a
-
do not truncate the output file if it already exists (i.e. append to it)
- -R
-
strip trailing carriage returns from each line (\r, ascii 13)
- -d directory
-
read hypermail archive from directory/ instead of the current location
- -m outfile
-
write to outfile instead of ./mbox
- -S suffix
-
modify the input file pattern "[0-9]{4}.suffix" (default value for suffix is html)
- -n address
-
specify To:-address of generated mails
- -H headers
-
add additional header lines to each mail (these are copied verbatim; if you want to add more than one, separate them with the character string '%0A')
