13 takes messages from a folder and copies them to a single file.
14 Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL\-A's and a
15 @BEGIN: MMDFMTS
16 newline (identical to the way messages are stored in your receiving mail drop).
17 @END: MMDFMTS
18 @BEGIN: MHMTS
19 newline (identical to the way messages are stored in your receiving mail drop).
20 @END: MHMTS

22 newline.

24 Messages packed can be unpacked using \fIinc\fR.

26 If the \fIname\fR given to the `\-file\ name' switch exists,
27 then the messages specified
28 will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be created
29 and the messages appended.

51 \fIPackf\fP doesn't handle the old UUCP-style \*(lqmbox\*(rq format
52 (used by \fISendMail\fP).
53 To pack messages into this format,
54 use the script \fI@(MHETCPATH)/packmbox\fP.
55 Note that \fIpackmbox\fP does not take the `\-file' option of \fIpackf\fP,
56 and instead writes its output on \fIstdout\fP.
