04.02 Can I append MH messages to a GNU Emacs rmail BABYL-format file?

To convert your MH folders to BABYL folders, first run the following
script on your Mail directory.
#!/bin/sh
for f in Mail/*; do
if [ -d $f ]; then
touch msgbox
folder=`basename $f`
echo -n packing $folder ...
packf +$folder
echo done
mv msgbox Mail-rmail/$folder
fi
done
This assumes you don't have nested folders. Your rmail folders will
be left in $HOME/Mail-rmail in MMDF format which rmail can read.
Then run rmail-input for each folder, which converts each folder
into BABYL format.
Be sure not to append any messages before they are converted from
MMDF to BABYL, since there may be really strange results.
