In comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d you write:

>I am looking for program that can read a "mailbox" file
>(contains several mails) and able to save individual mail
>as one file on my PC. ie.

ReadMail can do what you want: Select the messages you want to save
to a file from the selection screen (with [+]), press [F3] and press
[D] to change the destination (e.g. C:\TEST). The messages will then
be "printed" (saved actually) to the file C:\TEST. You can also
save individual messages while reading ([SPACE]) the messages.

BTW. I just finished the ReadMail update, version 3.1 is now available
from garbo and soon it will also be at simtel as RMAIL31.ZIP

If ReadMail 3.1 gives an error when you try to print, you should get
the new version from garbo, I fixed that little bug (it is still version
3.1 however).

Good luck,

Jeroen.
