Easier way--I know it works in Eudora and suspect it will work with any
email program, because email can be just an ASCII file, such as Xy makes.

Make a regular Xy file, but without any formatting (nothing inside
guillemets). At the top of the file put:

 From ???@???

on a line by itself.

Make sure there are two blank lines at the bottom.

Save the file under some name ending in .mbx (e.g., transfer.mbx). Get the
file into the directory that your email program uses. It should pick it up
and make it appear as a mailbox with that entry.

You can do as many separate messages as you like. E.g.,

 From ???@???

This is message1

 From ???@???

This is message 2.

 From ???@???

This is message 3.


Blank lines (carriage-return plus line-feed) are used to separate headers
from text and messages from each other. You can also put in other headers,
if you want, such as:

 From ???@???
