   That paragraph suggests that if a "thingy" existed satisfying my    
   desires, others would find it or a cousin useful.

   I was examining files having no extension which Caja describes as a    
   "mailbox file". I suspect that I could accomplish my goal using a    
   scriptable editor such as KDE's Kate.   
      
   My programming background includes:   
      1. As engineering freshman, a one semester introduction in days of   
         Hollerith, vacuum tubes, and line printers.   
      2. Some maintenance coding in 8080 assembler for employer's embedded   
         system [we were slowly going to 8085].   
      
   Where do I find SeaMonkey's description of required and optional    
   content/structure of these "mailbox files"?   
      
   TIA and thanks for guidance already received.
