REBUILD.SYSTEM

REBUILD.SYSTEM is a utility for converting a folder of email messages (text files named EMAIL.nnn where nnn is an integer) into a mailbox. It will erase any existing EMAIL.DB and NEXT.EMAIL files, parse the message files and create new EMAIL.DB and NEXT.EMAIL files. This tool may be used for bulk import of messages or for recreating the EMAIL.DB file for a mailbox which has become corrupted.

REBUILD.SYSTEM simply prompts for the path of the directory to process.

If you use this tool for bulk import, be sure that all the EMAIL.nnn files are in Apple II text format with carriage return (CR) line endings (not MS-DOS (CRLF) or UNIX style (LF).)
