An mbox is a file containing a set of messages. If you save a single message as a new mbox file, it will save just that message with its headers (and may well be exactly the same as the old .eml format, I don't really know). The file is text so you can look at it. It's pretty easy to understand. Since it's an mbox you can select a set of messages and save them all into the same file, which can be useful (e.g. mbox files can be imported by virtually any mail client). poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
