The archive files herein are in VMS-sequential-mail-file format, with messages separated by formfeeds and the "special" VMS headers, consisting of From:, Subj:, and To: with tabs separating these headers from their contents. The original network headers have been inserted into the VMS headers, including a [bracketed] message character count in the Subject: line, so that VMS mail's "directory" output is more informative. To adapt these files for your own mail system, replace the formfeeds with your own magic separator lines. The messages were smashed with the (vms-fix-mail-headers) function from hacks.el [running under Gnu emacs]. Have fun! _H*
