Help!  We're tired of Microsoft mail, and we want to switch to Eudora.

Everyone here who's tried Eudora likes it, but nobody wants to abandon
all their old messages that are stored in microsoft mail's database.

It's incredibly tedious to forward all those messages back to oneself,
and saving them individually to files isn't satisfactory, either.

Does anyone know of a solution that would automate extracting
microsoft mail and converting it to unix mbox format (which Eudora
will then happily accept)?  I have taken the step of copying the
database and taking a look inside it, but things are rather jumbled.

Many thanks for any suggestions.  Of course, the obvious solution is
to accidentally delete the 18 Meg MSmail database that's apparently
never been backed up...
