Is there such a tool for Solaris that can take an /var/mail/ [mbox]
and split the mbox  into the individual emails ?
Thanks,
Carl

Found a perl script  at:

http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Perlorama/perl_in_command_line.shtml

Output to Multiple Files

To split output among multiple files, change where standard output
points at based on some test. For example, the following will split a
standard unix mailbox file inbox into multiple files named out.*,
incrementing a number for each message in the mailbox.

 $ perl -pe 'BEGIN { $n=3D1 } open STDOUT, ">out.$n" and $n++ if /
^From /' inbox

The MH/NMH "inc" command can do that.

	inc -file /var/mail/whatever -notruncate

Looks like sunfreeware.com has a prebuilt nmh available.

Perhaps "formail -s"  with suitable other arguments?
