if all you want to do is move the mail
from a non-NeXT account to a NeXT account,
just mail the entire message to the NeXT 
account without touching the contents
at all. if your NeXTmail message is contained
in the file "foo.msg", you should be able
to say:

	mail myAccount@myNeXT < foo.msg

it would then show up as a regular NeXTmail
message in myAccount's mailbox.

when I get NeXTmail on my UNIX/X box at work, 
I tar the message file onto a floppy and take 
it home, where I then mail it to "me".

what the previous poster described (a lot of
uudecode, mv, tar, etc. commands) is only necessary
if you want to read NeXTmail on a non-NeXT
machine.
