I'm running procmail on SCO OS5 which uses MMDF. I have MMDF setup so =
that its .maildelivery calls procamail, BUT when a user goes to read his
mail it complains that the mailbox format is incorrect. When I review =
the mail
box files I notice that the ^A from the header and tail of the messages =
are
missing. How can this be corrected?
Can you please reply via email as well, I'm not currently a subscriber =
to this mailling list.
I had the same problem some minutes ago, when i finally compiled and
installed procmail :)
That's funny because i'm on this list for some weeks and can't remember
seeing something about MMDF.
First, one has to uncomment the sMAILBOX_SEPARATOR and
eMAILBOX_SEPARATOR lines in config.h. I did this right in the beginning
and everything worked as expected. But then i decided to add a
"Status: O" header line, because i'm using elm and this line helps
me to identify unread mail. To add the line, i used
'| formail -a"Status: O" >>folder' as action.
With the consequence that the "^A^A^A^A" lines where lost.
Currently i'm using the following solution:
| (echo "\001\001\001\001";formail -a"Status: O";echo "\001\001\001\001")
folder
It works. But i would like to know whether there is a better solution.
I'm still reading thru the man pages.

PS: The command 'cnvtmbox' helps to repair "corrupted" folders.
