Something about four ^A characters to divide mailboxes. The "deliver" program may prove helpful. It can be used with the MMDF program channel to deliver local mail in a form acceptable to Elm. (In theory, that is; I've never tried it.) Deliver is available at finer archive sites everywhere. It's at patchlevel eight. If, on the other hand, you want Elm to use MMDF mailboxes -- well, that's a job yet undone. Up to a challenge? :-) -- Chip Salzenberg or A T Engineering Me? Speak for my company? Surely you jest!
