mbox file to eml files converter.

================================

Split huge mbox file(giga byte)  to many .eml (.emlx) file.

why?

----

Google TakeOut is great and great judge. huge thanks to google.

then. I tried export whole mails for OSX Spotlight search.

but Downloaded file is one HUGE mbox file.

so, I made this.

requiment

---------

- PHP cli (really, It is not joke)

tested with 5.5.7. over 6 giga byte file. relax.

usage

-----

```

mkdir ~/many_eml_file/

php mbox_to_eml.php ~/Downloads/aaaa.mbox ~/many_eml_file/

```

and...

for Google TakeOut's output mbox, require option below. (reason will be mentioned later.)

3rd arg is for skip line from head of section.

```

mkdir ~/many_eml_file/

php mbox_to_eml.php ~/Downloads/aaaa.mbox ~/many_eml_file/ 2

```

for osx spotlight

-----------------

osx spotlight indexing not support .eml, must use .emlx.

if you want .emlx, set 4th arg = 1.

```

mkdir ~/many_eml_file/

php mbox_to_eml.php ~/Downloads/aaaa.mbox ~/many_eml_file/ 2 1

```

(added meta data is dummy(blank). but i can search by spotlight with 10.9(mavericks) .)

hey google!

==========

wtf?

```

X-GM-THRID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  <-- this is blank line.

Delivered-To: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx

blah:

foo:

subject:

hello i am phper!

```

I think, DON'T insert blank line before body in mbox/eml...

(I think... but... this is google product... I am wrong? Certainly, I am phper.)

blank line exist in some mail. these don't have `X-Gmail-Labels:`.
