In my original posting, I asked for advice on how to
make NeXTmail readable again after it had been received
by a regular unix machine.

My deepest gratitude and appreciation to all those nice
people who helped me out with this problem.  I am now a
happy receiver and reader of NeXTmail items!

The solution:
1) Save the body of the message, append it to your
   /usr/spool/mail/username file.  Go into the Mail.app.

or 
2) Copy the whole thing, including header and mail it
  to yourself with non-NeXTmail.  cat file > mail username.


3) Remove the header and change the .tar.###.stuff.attach
  phrase to filename.tar.Z.  Save it.  uudecode file.
  then zcat and untar the resulting files in that order.

It's so wonderful to belong to such a knowledgable and
caring community of intelligent persons!  Thanks to everyone
in netland who helped me out.
