Overview
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 ishtml)
-
-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')
