NAME

ezmlm-import - import messages into an ezmlm archive

SYNOPSIS

ezmlm-import dir mbox

DESCRIPTION

ezmlm-import scans the input file mbox for messages, and writes each message into a seperate file in dir/archive. The input file is expected to be in the standard UNIX "mbox" file format, which uses lines starting with "From " to mark the start of each message. All text before the first message is discarded, as are the seperator lines themselves.

NOTES

ezmlm-import does not create any message indices, so it will be necessary to run the following command after the import has completed:

: ezmlm-idx dir

Also, if the archive is indexed (by use of the ezmlm-make -a option) run the following command to rebuild the subject and thread indices:

: ezmlm-archive dir
