Version: 1.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux In chapter 7, accessible from <help:/kmail/importing.html>: Under the heading "Mailsmith", the command given to covert newline format from Mac to Unix can be more efficiently written as: perl -pe 's/\r/\n/g' mail-mac.txt > mail-unix.txt or: perl -i -pe 's/\r/\n/g' mail-mac.txt The latter edits the file in-place, and should not be used if the original file is to be retained. The command given in the present documentation is as follows: cat mail-mac.txt | perl -e 'while (<STDIN>) { s/\r/\n/gi; print $_ ;}' > mail-unix.txt Which, while equivalent, is more cumbersome to type and less efficient. In addition, the "i" flag (for case-insensitive matching) is meaningless, since control characters have no case. People notice these things.
