NAME
hypetombox - convert a hypermail archive to an mbox file
SYNOPSIS
hypetombox [-a] [-R] [-H headers] [-d directory] [-m outfile] [-n
address] [-S suffix]
DESCRIPTION
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 is html)
-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’)
