# If I remember correctly MH folders are just directories, with one
# message per file.  No UNIX From lines control-As or any of that
# cruft.  So you need to roll these messages into one file that VM
# can handle.  To get UNIX From style folders this script ought to
# do it.  Run it like this
# 
# % mh-to-vm.sh MH-folder-directory new-VM-folder-file
# 
# It doesn't remove anything so if it doesn't work, then no harm done.
