raju,

i am an otherwise quiet, obedient, god fearing guy. but recently in a
reckless moment, i tried to switch to mh from pine. now, you know that
pine's inbox is the system spool area, whereas mh sucks it all into a file
called "inbox" under a new directory called "Mail". (pine's directory is
called "mail", i.e. lowercase).

mh mangled my inbox. unfortunately it was 42 MB in size, and there were 3k
odd messages. all of those 3k messages have been read as ONE msg by mh. i
tried switching to RMAIL (compounding my sins further). so now that file is
a mess, with hajaar ^L and other add-ons thrown in.

i tried looking for rescue on the net. there seem to be some perl scripts
written, but i am not sure they address my specific need.

can you help? i.e. do you know how i could go back and reconvert the file
into mbox format, and re-append to system spool?

thanks in advance.
ajit (learnt a pine lesson - pine is still the best.)
