I suggest you grab a copy of lispdir.doc.Z, lispdir.el.Z, and LCD-datafile.Z from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive. Then you'll be able to type M-x lisp-dir-apropos <RET> babyl <RET> yourself, and see: Emacs Lisp Code Apropos -- "babyl" babyl-mail 89-08-17 Skip Montaro, <montanaro@sprite.crd.ge.com> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/babyl-mail.el.Z Quickie Babyl-to-mail convertor. babyl-vm 89-08-10 Ken Manheimer, <klm@cme.nist.gov> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/babyl-vm.el.Z Babyl-to-vm convertor. conv-babl 89-07-17 John Kohl, <jtkohl@athena.mit.edu> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/functions/conv-babl.el.Z Pretty-print Babyl buffers. de-rmail 89-08-17 Nathan Hess, <woodstock@hobbes.intel.com> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/de-rmail.Z Conversion of BABYL to Unix mail file format. rmail-apply 89-02-03 Dan Pierson, <pierson@multimax.encore.com,encore!pierson> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/as-is/rmailapply.el.Z Apply function to all messages, babyl-to-mail. rmail2mail 89-12-07 Skip Montanaro, <montnaro@sprite.crd.ge.com> tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/rmail2mail.Z Convert an rmail babyl file to unix mail I recently switched to VM (recommended), and used babyl-vm. It converts whole mail files and mail directories at a time, and retains most of the labels such as replied, forwarded, etc. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) It will be a great day when our schools have Martin Marietta Energy Systems all the money they need and the Air Force Workstation Support has to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber.
