Well, it tries to load too much in, even when I have the RAM for BBEdit
set up at 300 MB. BBEdit doesn't do the trick.

Unfortunately, the problem is that SIMS doesn't seem to be able to handle
this large a mailbox in any way, shape or form. I've tried directly
logging into SIMS via telnet, and the hang/crash behavior occurs.
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions, but they don't seem to be
workable.
Does anyone know of a program that would simply split the text file into
multiple, smaller pieces? StuffIt doesn't do it (it puts its own stuff
into there for file reassembly).
