I still have that code and I've been thinking about VM reading
BABYL files.  However, I can't work up much enthusiasm for it.
Not without a basic document telling me what BABYL folder format

It may be good if you're using MH from the shell, but it's not so
good from a monolithic mail program's point of view.

Truth is, I haven't done any significant work on VM since

and keeping notes.  We could just skip version 5 altogether and
go straight to version 6... :-)
