All options marked with '*' operate on stdin, and write the resultant message to stdout.

If no filenames are given on the command line, standard input will be processed as a single message. If one or more filenames are given on the command line, each will be processed according to the following rules:

* If the filename is '-', standard input will be processed as a single
message (may only be usefully given once).
* If the filename starts with '+' it will be processed as an MH folder.
* If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
'cur', it will be processed as a Maildir.
* If the filename is a directory and it contains a subdirectory named
'Mail', it will be processed as an MH Mailbox.
* If the filename is a directory and not a Maildir nor an MH Mailbox, it
will be processed as a Mailbox directory consisting of just .txt and .lorien files.
* Otherwise, the filename is treated as a Unix-style mailbox (messages
begin on a line starting with 'From ').

Output is always to standard output as a Unix-style mailbox.
