It would be a lot simpler if PROFS understood RFC822 mail. Happiliy, there
is a product from IBM called PROFS Extended Mail Facility (5798-FBJ) which
will make it do so. Unhappily, those who've installed it consider it
something of a dog, both in performance and in function. When added to your
PROFS system, this product causes PROFS to recognize an RFC822 format file
as mail, and to parse the harders.

Hmm... are you trying to do this from the VM system? If so, I don't think
you really need to do this at all, since you're on the same system. If
you're not, then it's a little difficult. PROFS only recongizes one thing as
"mail", and the exact format of that file is undocumented. With the addition
of the Extended Mail product, it understands RFC822 mail, so I guess that
would do the trick for you - just imbed the file in a mail message.
