06.01 How do I save files that I can read later with MH, elm, Mail, ...?
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 96 14:45 MET Run the following (or add it to your init file) to prevent the addition of a `~' prefix in front each line of the header of saved messages. :unset embedded-header-escape From: Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com> Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 19:19:07 -0800 MH: Save your files with +$F/$N. For example, if you save message 10 in news.software.nn in this way, you will create a file called ~/News/news/software/nn/10. If you have a symbolic link from ~/Mail/news to ~/News, then you can look at your saved nn messages with "scan +news/news/software/nn". This method stands a small chance of overwriting existing messages if you add messages to these folders outside of news. You may also wish to run "folder -pack" occasionally to renumber the messages starting with 1. Brian's solution below avoids these problems. Mail Add "set mail-format" to your init file. From: Brian Exelbierd <bex@usa.net> Date: Sun, 12 Nov 1995 15:40:51 -0500 The following script allows the easy saving of articles into any MH folder, giving the article a message number one higher than the current highest messge. It deliberately does not provide group name defaulting. Add the following to your init file: set default-save-file |nnsave2mh Where nnsave2mh looks like: if test $1; then cat <&0 > `mhpath new +$1` else cat <&0 > `mhpath new +news` fi When you save in nn, you'll be prompted by "|nnsave2mh". Enter the name of the folder (minus the `+'); otherwise, the message will be saved in +news.
