You didn't say on which platform you are running or what type of mail
packet you are trying to read. I suspect that many are using SOUP
packets created on a unix machine by a program such as uqwk, and
then compressed with a program such as zip. Multimail reads several
types of packets. See the man page that comes with the multimail
source code, "mm.1". Did you compile multimail yourself or get a
precompiled binary? The configuration file is created when you first
run multimail and is called "mmail.rc". I am using Multimail 0.41 with
slightly modified source code on DOS, but I don't think any of this
has changed.
