Re: [cobalt-users] Mail Dilemma

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You've already lost the header information, so some of the mail (list mail, 
bulk mail, etc.) may never be delivered <frown>.

But for mail that has either a "To:" or a "Cc:" header, just write a script 
to parse the mailbox file into individual emails and send them one at a 
time to sendmail.  There's probably a better way, but that's what I'd do.
