What problem are you having? The point of MAILABLE is to package
multiple files, preserve timestamps, and be easy to extract without
requiring extra tools (such as VMARC). I'm always interested in
understanding what pitfalls await...
Well, last time it was a difference between PC and Unix line endings.
I'm very tempted to go back to VMARC and say "download as binary,
reblock to FIX 80, unpack with VMARC. Go get VMARC if you don't have
it," because we didn't have these problems reported before we went to
MAILABLE for the download. But there's a lot of confusion with
MAILABLE.
