   I had thought it would be
   enough to just concatenate all the message files in the folder,
   perhaps with an empty line between them, but the `From ' line is
   missing the MH message files. (There is a `From: ' line but that's of
   little use.)

Try:

/usr/mh/lib/packmbox +inbox > INBOX

This will make a uucp style mailbox, which you should be able to
read using RMAIL
