I'm desperate!

I am *NOT* an Emacs user, but tried to use the Emacs "rmail" just to see
if I'd like it.

Boy, was I surprised when Emacs moved everything from my standard
Berkeley mail file (/usr/spool/mail/bond) into ~/RMAIL in rmail format.

Yikes!

I had 100+ mail messages in my spool file, all very important.
Now that they're in ~/RMAIL, how can I convert them back into Berkeley
format so I can read them with a mail tool I'm familiar with, e.g. Elm ?

E-mail replies prefered...   Many thanks!
