.SH NAME
splitmail++ \- split mailbox files prior to indexing
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B splitmail++ \-p\fIprefix
.BI "[ " file " ]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B splitmail++
is a utility to split a mailbox file
(or standard input)
comprised of multiple messages
into multiple files of individual messages
to facilitate indexing with
.BR index++ (1).
The generated files have 5-digit increasing numbers
appended to a common prefix.
If the mailbox file has some non-mail header, then this is
dumped to a file with the same prefix and
\f(Cw_junk_header\f1
as the suffix.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 12
.BI \-p prefix
Specifies the common prefix.
.SH EXAMPLE
The command:
.cS
splitmail++ \-p msg sent_messages
.cE
splits the mailbox \f(CWsent_messages\f1 into files named
\f(CWmsg.00001\f1,
\f(CWmsg.00002\f1,
and so on. Any non-mail header gets dumped to a file named
\f(CWmsg_junk_header\f1.
.SH NOTE
This utility hasn't been exhaustively tested.
