Hi Matt,<br>
<br>
I have done this and it works for new mail arriving but I need to onsend<br>
the existing mail.<br>

Ah, I misread what you were looking to do. You should be able to do
the following then.<br>
<br>
cat /var/spool/mail/root | mail -s "Old Root Emails" <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:user@gmail.com">user@gmail.com</a><br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>

Argh spoke to soon - its mostly all good apart from the attachments
that are on the emails don't come through as attachments.<br>
Is there any way I can send the so that they are received with
attachments still intact?<br>
