\fIPackf\fR
takes messages from a folder and copies them to a single file.
Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL\-A's and a
@@BEGIN: MMDFMTS
newline (identical to the way messages are stored in your receiving mail drop).

Messages packed can be unpacked using \fIinc\fR.

If the \fIname\fR given to the `\-file\ name' switch exists,
then the messages specified
will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be created
and the messages appended.

The first message packed will become the current message.

\fIPackf\fP doesn't handle the old UUCP-style \*(lqmbox\*(rq format
(used by \fISendMail\fP).
To pack messages into this format,
use the script \fI@@(MHETCPATH)/packmbox\fP.
Note that \fIpackmbox\fP does not take the `\-file' option of \fIpackf\fP,
and instead writes its output on \fIstdout\fP.
