Hi Fernando,

Ok great! :-)

 FT> Is there an example of the fmail.cfg file?

On every installed system there is one. ;)

 FT> is it a binary file?

Yes.

You can look at the used structures here: https://sourceforge.ne
/p/fmail/code/ci/master/tree/fmstruct.h

Python would be great, as long as the program runs in a text console, without
dependencies on uncommon libraries...

But there are more files, besides fmail.cfg, it needs to be abel to read and
write to. Look at paragraph 1.2 of FMail.txt. And there are more files it
needs to know about if you want to implement all functionality, like for
instance the import functions.

I already did some experimental command line tools in python:
https://sourceforge.net/p/fmail/code/ci/linux/tree/tools/

That convert the fmail.ar(t) file to and from text based formats.


Bye, Wilfred.
