Not sure what you mean "maildir style names"... the names of the files |
2 |
were random bits of (I believe) a single email. So, the file listing |

looked something like this: |

|
5 |
root@foo>ls |
6 |
somerealfile.txt |
7 |
myrealpackage.tgz |

anotherfile |
12 |
etc. |

This isn't an actual listing... I deleted the files already. They were |
15 |
empty files and their names were seemingly random bits of text. However, |
16 |
I recognized pieces of that text to have come from an email that my Aunt |
17 |
sent me a while back. |

Very strange. |
