OT: Converting MBOX back to qf/df files

[Martin Hepworth]

Paul

you'll need to split the mbox into individual emails first with split or
cplit...

csplit -n 4 $MAIL /^From\ / {9999}
or
split -p ^From\ $MAIL

then feed those emails into sendmail with something a 'sendmail -ti <
message' for each of the emails produced from the [c]split.
