Hi.

	I tried to post this a while back, but apparently it never got
anywhere.  I originally tried to crrosspost to comp.mail.elm, but I have
to assume that's where the problem was, since I don't have trouble
posting regularly.

	I'm moving a bunch of my old files offline.  Among them some
rather large Mailbox files.  Now, I like the way Mail and Elm store all
of the messages in a single file, but I can't easily access them on my
PC without Elm.  So, I'm looking for some sort of program that can
handle
elm mailbox files on a PC.  So why am I posting here?  Well, considering
that Gnu Emacs is capable of damn near anything, I'm wondering if
anybody has written or has some pointers for writing some sort of .el
file that will allow me to look at my mail file using Gnu Emacs or oneof
the Emacs clones that are around for the PC (has gnuemacs been ported to
PC?  I haven't seen it...).

	I would also love to have an ELM-style menu interface for
editing extremely large files (yes, I know about Outline mode, and it
does come in handy, but it isn't quite sufficient).

	Any suggestions or ideas out there?
