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’)
