I've decoded the format of the VMS 5.0 VMSMail_Profile.Data file.
The format is described below.  

There are two or three holes in my knowledge.  I have no idea
what type 0, 6, or A fields are nor what any field types above
B might be.  Has anyone found out what these are?  The type 7
filed, transport, was described in other message to this group.

Format of Sys$System:VMSMail_Profile.Data

  User_Id			31 characters blank filled

  Type				2 bytes

  Length			2 bytes

  Data				Length and format varies

  The record consists of the 31 character User_Id blank filled
  followed by a repeated series of Type, Length, Data fields.
