NAME
emil - convert enclosure and character set of an Internet message

SYNOPSIS
emil [ -i Infile ] [ -o Outfile ] [ -c Input_Charset ] Conversion_Script

DESCRIPTION
The message conversion filter emil is used to convert the encoding of enclosures and character set of an Internet message. The target format Conversion_Script is a script written in TCL that specifies what conversions to make. The conversion scripts are available under the directory EMILCONV and all have the extension .tcl.

OPTIONS

Options may appear in any order, but they all must appear before the Conversion_Script.

    -i Infile
        Input file. If not specified standard input is used.

    -o Outfile
        Output file. If not specified standard output is used.

    -c Input_Charset
        Input character set. This is used as default when no character set is specified in the headers of the incoming message.

EXAMPLES

To convert a MIME message in file mime_file to Open Windows mailtool format, and produce the result on standard output:

    example% emil -i mime_file mailtool

        To convert a straight rfc822 format message with text in CP437 from standard input to a MIME format message on standard output:

            example% cat rfc822.file | emil -c CP437 mime
