I read of two solutions, both of which sound reasonably easy. The first is to install a dos program called DbxConv, and, run it under an emulator like dosemu to convert all your files. Available at http://freenet-homepage.de/ukrebs/english/dbxconv.html If the idea of running a dos program on Linux nauseates you, then I also read that Kmail, with the kmailcvt (kmail converter) package installed also works.
