3.6 Archive Folder

This method can handle archive files, which are compressed by utilities such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.

Format:

`$' path-name [`;' archiver-type `;' prefix]

path-name is the relative path from elmo-archive-folder-path (initial setting is `~/Mail'). If path-name begins with `/' or `~' or `drive-letter of DOS', path-name is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.

The actual file name of the archive folder is elmo-archive-basename (Initial setting is `elmo-archive') under the path-name. If a file named path-name exists, it is treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for archiver-type.

If archiver-type is omitted, elmo-archive-default-type (Initial setting is zip) is referred.

prefix specifies the internal directory structure of the archive. For example, if the ML server is fml, `msend.tar.gz' has a structure like `spool/1', so you have to specify `spool' as prefix.

Example:

$teranisi         -> `~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip'
$bsd/freebsd;lha  -> `~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh'
$/foo@server:~/bar;zoo     -> `~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo' on ftp server
$d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> `d:/msend.tar.gz'
$ml;zip/        -> Access group consists of archive folders
                   under `~/Mail/ml'
