       burst - explode digests into messages

       _B_u_r_s_t considers the specified messages in the named folder
       to  be Internet digests, and explodes them in that folder.

       If `-inplace' is given, each digest  is  replaced  by  the
       "table of contents" for the digest (the original digest is
       removed).  _B_u_r_s_t then renumbers all of the  messages  fol-
       lowing  the  digest in the folder to make room for each of
       the messages contained within the digest.  These  messages
       are placed immediately after the digest.

       If  `-noinplace'  is  given,  each digest is preserved, no
       table of contents is produced, and the messages  contained
       within  the  digest  are  placed at the end of the folder.
       Other messages are not tampered with in any way.

       The `-quiet' switch  directs  _b_u_r_s_t  to  be  silent  about
       reporting messages that are not in digest format.

       The  `-verbose'  switch directs _b_u_r_s_t to tell the user the
       general actions that it is taking to explode the digest.

       It turns out that _b_u_r_s_t works equally  well  on  forwarded
       messages  and  blind-carbon-copies as on Internet digests,
       provided that the former two were  generated  by  _f_o_r_w  or
       _s_e_n_d.

       `-noverbose'

CCOONNTTEEXXTT
       If a folder is given, it will become the  current  folder.
       If  `-inplace'  is  given,  then  the  first message burst
       becomes the current  message.   This  leaves  the  context
       ready  for  a _s_h_o_w of the table of contents of the digest,
       and a _n_e_x_t to see the first message  of  the  digest.   If
       `-noinplace'  is  given,  then the first message extracted
       from the first digest burst becomes the  current  message.
       This  leaves  the context in a similar, but not identical,
       state to the context achieved when using `-inplace'.

BBUUGGSS
       The _b_u_r_s_t program enforces a limit on the number  of  mes-
       sages which may be _b_u_r_s_t from a single message.  This num-
       ber is on the order of 1000 messages.  There is usually no
       limit  on  the  number of messages which may reside in the
       folder after the _b_u_r_s_ting.

       Although _b_u_r_s_t uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine
       where  one  encapsulated  message ends and another begins,
       not all digestifying programs use an  encapsulation  algo-
       rithm.  In degenerate cases, this usually results in _b_u_r_s_t
       finding an encapsulation boundary prematurely  and  split-
       ting  a  single encapsulated message into two or more mes-
       sages.  These erroneous digestifying  programs  should  be
       fixed.

       Furthermore,  any text which appears after the last encap-
       sulated message is not placed in  a  seperate  message  by
       _b_u_r_s_t.   In the case of digestified messages, this text is
       usally an "End of digest" string.  As  a  result  of  this
       possibly  un-friendly  behavior on the part of _b_u_r_s_t, note
       that when the `-inplace' option  is  used,  this  trailing
       information  is  lost.  In practice, this is not a problem
       since correspondents usually place remarks in  text  prior
       to the first encapsulated message, and this information is
       not lost.
