One thing I did notice about the import to Netscape caused all the lines
like:
>From email Thu Dec  3 21:46:34 1998

to become
>From - Thu Dec  3 21:46:34 1998


I'm guessing this would be a problem reading mail in software other that
netscape?  Will this cause the From field to become screwed up when
browsing mail?

Thanks,
