Eric Bennett) Subject: Unix Comaptible NeXT Mail Message-ID: Date: Tue, 04 Jun 91 04:23:03 GMT Organization: University of Michigan Seismology Department, Ann Arbor Summary: Can NeXT Mail be made psuedo-Unix Compatible? Keywords: Mail Compatible Unix Can NeXT-Mail be made somewhat unix compatible? The basic problem I have is that it breaks the mbox convetion with its Mailbox Directories. Could I just create a link to the Mailboxes/active.mbox/mbox names ~/mbox. If I did, what would happen to NeXT's Mailboxes/active.mbox/table_of_contents, or rather, how would NeXT's Mail app handle the extra mail in Mailboxes/active.mbox/mbox? eric bennett -- -------- R.
