There's a much easier way than this.  Save the file as (for example) mail.uu.
Then open it in Edit.app, delete the header down to the "From:" line, save
it, and do this:

	cat mail.uu | /usr/lib/sendmail your_userid

Then launch Mail.app and you will soon have your NeXTmail.

If you receive your mail through an IBM mainframe, be sure to pipe it through
"tr \~ \^" before sendmail -- this takes care of the faulty EBCDIC --> ASCII
translation.
