If no filenames are given on the command line, standard input will be
processed as a single message.  If one or more filenames are given on the
command line, each will be processed according to the following rules:
.IP
* If the filename is '\-', standard input will be processed as a single
.IP
message (may only be usefully given once).
.IP
* If the filename starts with '+' it will be processed as an MH folder.
.IP
* If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
.IP
\&'cur', it will be processed as a Maildir.
.IP
* If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
.IP
\&'Mail', it will be processed as an MH Mailbox.
.IP
* If the filename is a directory and not a Maildir nor an MH Mailbox, it
.IP
will be processed as a Mailbox directory consisting of just .txt and
\&.lorien files.
.IP
* Otherwise, the filename is treated as a Unix\-style mailbox (messages
.IP
begin on a line starting with 'From ').
.PP
Output is always to standard output as a Unix\-style mailbox.
