Yes, in that case, you have to do some external recovery to break the file into smaller chunks. The split program is useful for this purpose.

By the way, I recommend that mixcvt be used instead of mailutil or Alpine's snarfing for converting a mailbox. This is because mailutil and Alpine will do an atomic move of the messages from the spool file, thus putting them all into one mix data file. mixcvt will divide the messages into multiple files.
