Mailbox SKIMMER by Ernesto Garcia, 1995. ---------------------------------------- QUICK SETUP AND RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS Mailbox SKIMMER is a program designed to make it easier for you to read your mailbox, especially if you receive a lot of "junk" messages, like propaganda, a quite awful topic in a mailing list, or any kind of messages that can be spotted out by means of their Subject: line. You use it by typing MSKIM at the DOS prompt, followed by the name of your mailbox file _PLUS_ a colon, and all the topics you would like to eliminate from your mailbox: mskim [ drive:\path\ [ mailbox: ] ] [ unwanted topics ] Example: mskim c:\mail\mbox: propaganda announcement taxes Skimmed mailbox is output to MBOX.DEP, unless you specify another file with the -a option as the first parameter, like this: mskim -a c:\personal\readmail.txt c:\mail\mbox: propaganda (...) If you have any problem, consult file MANUAL.DOC, for complete details. Odds are close that you've forgotten to put the colon after the name of your mailbox.
