mailbox2html - EXPERIMENTAL: convert mail folders into an HTML structure

mail2html [-src folder] [-dest directory] [-norecurse]

Convert various kinds of mail folders to HTML, permitting them to be read by a web browser.
Options:
(or -cleanup or -nocleanup) removes the directory before generating the data.
The output directory.
When this option is not specified,
the program will try to create a sub-directory named mail2html in the directory pointed to by the environment variable TMPDIR or tmpdir,
otherwise the output will be in /var/tmp or /tmp.

(or -recurse or <-norecurse>) Recurse through subfolders.
By default,
recursive production is enabled.
Start with the folder(-directory) which can be found at the specified location.
The type of folder is auto-detected.
By default,
the contents of the directory specified by the MAIL or mail environment variable are used.
If these variables are not defined,
HOME and home are checked for a sub-directory named Mail.
If these are unsuccessful as well,
the current directory is used.
(or -verbose or -noverbose) Be verbose about the progress of the program.
This is especially useful for debugging purposes.
