The first mail system I ever used was MH -- starting around 1982.
So, I haven't had to convert much e-mail from another system to MH.
But a lot of you probably have.
I'm writing a book about MH for O'Reilly and Associates, for the
Nutshell Handbook series. I'm planning on an appendix about converting
to MH, so I'd like to know some tricks -- from Unix and (especially) non-Unix
systems. I know you can just forward or "dist" all the messages to yourself,
but that adds extra lines to the message header and messes up the "Date:".
If you have a BSD Unix "mbox" file, "inc -file mbox" usually does it.
>From VMS Mail, EXTRACT/ALL and a little sh+sed script work pretty well.
What have you done? What works and what doesn't? Thanks...
