I realize it's easy to do with pine, mutt, elm or any one of a million
unix apps (mutt fan myself).  My dilema is that I'm providing the
archives to a client who uses windows exclusively and I need to find an
easy way for them to access the archives, both the mobx and the maildir
ones.


Are there any windows apps that can import from a maildir type archive
like MailScanner creates?

I'll play with using outlook Express to import eudora mailboxes and see
if that takes care of the mbox ones.

thanks,
Bill

      "mail -f <mbox-file>" has always been a safe thing to use
      (and it's
      easy to use too:-).
      I used to use pine for a rather long time... Or one could use
      Sylpheed
      or even kmail...
      Trick is to either work on a copy or make very sure that the
      MUA don't
      mess up the file(s).
