NAME
       malfix - fix up old mail files for MSG

SYNOPSIS
       malfix <infile >outfile

DESCRIPTION
       malfix exists solely to convert mail files created with the old
       software  tools mail utility into the format necessary for MSG.
       The suggested scenario for fixing up your mbox file (the  place
       where MAIL used to save your mail) is as follows:

            cat mymail >>mbox
            cat ~bin/mymail >mymail
            rename mbox. ombox.
            malfix <ombox >mbox

       Now  run  MSG  on the mbox file to make sure everything went OK
       (of course it did, but let's be safe.)  Then the ombox file may
       be deleted.
