The actual mail messages in Netscape are stored in UUCP-style files,
so MHonArc can process those directly.  Netscape uses a separate
index file for allow quicker listing/access capability to the files.
Note, unless you do a "Compress" in Netscape, running MHonArc on
the raw mbox files may convert messages that you thought were deleted.

To handle sub-folders, you will need a simple, small front-end that
recurses through the Netscape mail directory, and pass the various mbox
files to MHonArc.
