format of output
Authored by: pmccann on May 09, '02 11:11:10AM

It's probably worth mentioning that the format of the file so produced is pretty much stock standard mbox, so it's *almost* ready to use in elm/mutt etc. The snag is that the line endings are carriage returns, which are not appreciated by these unix mail readers. Any other number of hints talk about converting cr-delimited files to lf-delimited ones, so I'll not risk enraging the macosxhints backslash-excising gods by printing the usual hack here. Just convert the file (BBEdit will do it, under "options" in the save as dialog; TexEdit Plus does it in a menu item etc etc). Then the entourage folder is a nice, compact mbox for future use. *Much* better than the old Entourage output, which required more significant hacking to be used in this manner.

Cheers,
Paul
