                     23: The mail filters
                     24: are a set of programs that filter mail from one format to another.
                     25: In particular, \fIUUCP\fR\- and \fIMMDF\fR\-style mail files are handled.
                     26: 
                     27: \fImuinc\fR
                     28: filters mail from the user's \fIMMDF\fR maildrop into the user's \fIUUCP\fR
                     29: maildrop;
                     30: similarly,
                     31: \fIuminc\fR
                     32: filters mail from the user's \fIUUCP\fR maildrop into the user's \fIMMDF\fR
                     33: maildrop.
                     34: These two programs respect each system's maildrop locking protocols.
                     35: 
                     36: \fImusift\fR
                     37: filters each file on the command line
                     38: (or the standard input if no arguments are given),
                     39: and places the result on the standard output in \fIUUCP\fR format.
                     40: The files (or standard input) are expected to be in \fIMMDF\fR format.
                     41: \fIumsift\fR
                     42: does the same thing filtering \fIUUCP\fR formatted files (or input),
                     43: and places the \fIMMDF\fR formatted result on the standard output.
                     44: No locking protocols are used by these programs.
                     45: 
                     46: If the files aren't in the expected format,
                     47: the mail filters will try to recover.
                     48: In really bad cases,
                     49: you may lose big.
                     50: .Fi
