Chiesa) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: VMS Mail file format Message-ID: <1671@bsu-cs.UUCP> Date: 11 Dec 87 16:04:27 GMT Organization: CS Dept, Ball St U, Muncie, Indiana Lines: 14 Keywords: MAIL.MAI Does anyone know the specifics of the record format (i.e. fields, positions and lengths within the record) in the MAIL.MAI file? I've used ANA/RMS/FDL so know where the keys are, but so far haven't gotten much beyond that. I'll work it out by trial-and-error-and-experiment if I have to, but having the info handed to me is SO-o-o-o-o-o much easier! (I haven't seen anything in the manuals about this; if it's proprietary, and I figure it out "from scratch" for nonprofit use, am I still "in the clear?" I'm not planning to do anything nasty, just want to have a couple of little utilities on hand to summarize mail, pull up things such as "SELECT/FROM" (a handy feature I always thought should be in Mail, but isn't) and so on. Thanks in advance for info, pointers, etc. Chris Chiesa
