   Ok great! :-)   
      
    FT> Is there an example of the fmail.cfg file?   
      
   On every installed system there is one. ;)   
      
    FT> is it a binary file?   
      
   Yes.   
      
   You can look at the used structures here: https://sourceforge.ne   
   /p/fmail/code/ci/master/tree/fmstruct.h   
      
    FT> I think you could get to program something using python to replace   
    FT> that utility if it is not too complicated.   
      
   Python would be great, as long as the program runs in a text console, without   
   dependencies on uncommon libraries...   
      
   But there are more files, besides fmail.cfg, it needs to be abel to read and   
   write to. Look at paragraph 1.2 of FMail.txt. And there are more files it   
   needs to know about if you want to implement all functionality, like for   
   instance the import functions.   
      
   I already did some experimental command line tools in python:   
   https://sourceforge.net/p/fmail/code/ci/linux/tree/tools/   
      
   That convert the fmail.ar(t) file to and from text based formats.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
