Alternatively, you can pipe the file through formail (man formail) and it will convert the .eml file into a mailbox format which you can save as your /var/mail/<username> ... making it available for even pine. something like formail -ds <outlook.eml >> /var/mail/USERNAME HTH Patrick J Okui Systems Administrator One2Net Uganda Limited.
