Yuk...I've got this script (It is in the lib/ directory of our MH 6.8.something
distribution) called 'packmbox'. That script will take a MH folder and pack it
into a UNIX mbox. I've never used rmail, but I would assume that there is some
way to tell it to suck in an arbitrary mbox file. So, you do

        packmbox +mhfolder all > mhfolder.mbox

then point rmail's mbox sucking command at mhfolder.mbox.
