That's not hard to fix.  I'm not going to do it now, though....

Maybe I'll check it out when I have some time.  Do you happen to know
what its mailbox format is?   I gather it uses file-per-message, but
does it do any other silly stuff?  Eg, MH adds "Forwarded: " and
such-like to the headers to keep track.  That's OK, but if it does too 
much stuff (like old Emacs RMail with its complete duplication of the
"keep" headers and other "Babyl format" junk), it loses some of its
usefulness.

Old, obviously, but it's one place to start.

Ciao.
