Netscape and Pine use mailbox format.  I don't know
the format used by Micro$oft OE.

Mutt (http://www.mutt.org) is a mail user agent
(mailer) that knows a lot of mailbox formats.  I
don't know if it knows OE format.  But if it
doesn't, then probably you are out of luck :-(  You
should never have used a Micro$oft mail user agent.

Try this: install Mutt.  Create a new folder (i.e. a
new file to store messages).  Then read the OE file
that store the messages with Mutt, and copy the
message to the folder that is in mailbox format.

I haven't tried it.  If it works, please let me
know.

Hope this helps.
