NAME
git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program
SYNOPSIS
git mailsplit [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] [--mboxrd]
                -o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]
DESCRIPTION
Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: “0001” “0002” .. in the specified directory so you can process them further from there.
Important
Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output patches in the correct order.
OPTIONS
<mbox>- 
    
Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the standard input.
 <Maildir>- 
    
Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp and new subdirectories.
 -o<directory>- 
    
Directory in which to place the individual messages.
 -b- 
    
If any file doesn’t begin with a From line, assume it is a single mail message instead of signaling error.
 -d<prec>- 
    
Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision can be specified for the generated filenames.
 -f<nn>- 
    
Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start the numbering with 0004.
 --keep-cr- 
    
Do not remove
\rfrom lines ending with\r\n. --mboxrd- 
    
Input is of the “mboxrd” format and “^>+From “ line escaping is reversed.
