Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Mail Migration (Conversion ?)

Content Type: text/plain

Exactly, Ray. I've been doing the same with no issues AND including
mail from the VM/CMS mainframe system. This isn't rocket science by any
means. The coolest part of the whole deal is that if you have your
archives on portable media like CDs or DVDs, you can literally read them
using any text editor on any computer that has enough memory. I don't
know about yours, but my monthly archives wind up being around 30-45MB
and I regularly read them with Notepad when necessary and even BBEdit.
In one case, before I got my system built to be the way I wanted it, I
read the mail archives using Kedit which a lot of people know about in
Winders.
