Hi,
  I would like to convert a VMS MAIL file from its ISAM format to ordinary
text. That is, I want to write my own extraction routine that extracts new
mail and appends it to an ordinary ascii file. This way I don't have to enter
mail and type extract at the VMS mail prompt but insted do it from the DCL
level. Is this possible? Is there an existing routine that will do the
extraction for me?

Thanks,
--
