  Yes.  Move your mbox into mbox.1, for example, since nn does not
  handle file locking.  Then:

	nn mbox.1
  
  Here's an example ~/.nn/init file that will accomplish this:
  
	set header-lines *CAnW
	map show m next-article
	sequence
	NEW  RC

  You can also use 'nn -f mbox.1 in which case it'll not sort them at
  all; just show them in the sequence it finds them in the file.
  Sometimes this is handy.

  Another *neat* trick is that you can compress mail-files with nn: 
  
	nn elbows.1	open the mail-file
	=		select by Subject
	^ RET		select all articles (with a beginning)
	O		output to file, but strip most of the headers
	mbox.1a RET y	specify filename, and yes, create it
	+		output all selected articles 

  This procedure results in a 20-40% reduction in file size, by
  tossing all the "Received:", "Errors-To:", "X-Mailer:",
  "NNTP-Posting-Host:", etc. header fields.
