Subject: Convert text file to mbox file?
Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2022 17:53:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ee3ivs6f.fsf@yandex.com> (raw)
Hello,
In my rmail configuration, I have sent the variable
'mail-archive-file-name' to a local file 'sent'. All appeared to go well
for several months, but when I now try to read 'sent' via "M-x rmail-input"
I'm told that 'sent' is an Invalid mbox file. I think the problem may
have arisen when I edited and saved 'sent' as if it were an ordinary
text file. Is there anyway in which I can covert 'sent' back to an mbox
file?
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter.
