Hello:I need an mbox file viewer GUI program for openSUSE. A program
I can use for opening mbox email files in a local
directory. Thunderbird, Evolution, Clawsmail all can open/import mbox
files, but they require setting up an email account which I don't
want. I only want to open local mbox files and possibly manipulate
them (view, save, copy to other folder). Pine/alpine can do this
nicely, but it is a terminal program. I need something similar that
is GUI and can show attached images.  Is there something like that
for linux?Thanks in advance,Istvanps: I apologize if the message is
garbled, it's the mail system I use.

You could try rmail under Emacs. Assuming you don't already have it:

1. Install emacs-x11.

2. Run emacs.

3. Type "C-u M-x rmail RET" (where "C-u M-x" in Emacs-speak is
"Ctl-u Alt-X" in X11 speak).

4. Supply the name of the mbox file, followed by RET.

5. Type "C-h b" to see the available commands in Rmail.

Emacs should only ask you to set up an account if you try to send a
message.

I installed emacs-x11 and followed your instructions. It works but it still seems to me as a character based mail reader in a GUI window, like alpine in xterm. I could not find it yet how to view attached images. I will have to learn it.___
Thank you,___
