auparse_normalize_subject_secondary - Linux
Overview
auparse_normalize_subject_secondary is a command-line tool for normalizing secondary subject lines in Apple Mail data. It converts them to the traditional format to ensure compatibility when importing to other email clients.
Syntax
auparse_normalize_subject_secondary [options] <input-file> <output-file>
Options/Flags
- -d, –dry-run: Simulate the normalization process without modifying the input file.
- -q, –quiet: Suppress all non-error output.
- -s, –separator: Specify the separator used between the subject and secondary subject lines (default:
|).
Examples
Simple usage:
auparse_normalize_subject_secondary infile.mbox outfile.mbox
Using the separator option:
auparse_normalize_subject_secondary -s ':' infile.mbox outfile.mbox
Dry run mode:
auparse_normalize_subject_secondary -d infile.mbox outfile.mbox
Common Issues
- Incorrect subject lines: If the secondary subject line is not in the expected format, the normalization process may not work correctly.
- Corrupted input files: Ensure that the input Apple Mail data file is not corrupted before running the command.
Integration
Combine with auparse for complete normalization:
auparse --normalize-subject | auparse_normalize_subject_secondary
