This is very timely. I'd like to expand (don't want to use that other
"ex" word) some email archive files that are open and available to the
public. These files are from some public mailing lists, they are text
files (generally one file per month's worth of traffic), and they often
are named "<something>.mail". The purpose is to extract and organize
messages having certain specific threads/subjects.
It would be great if I could open/import/convert such a file and use an
email client to see it as a folder or mailbox of individual messages.
Saving a file of a useful subset of extracted messages would be nice, too.
The base machine for this is WinXP Pro - available clients so far are MS
Outlook 03, Outlook Express (never use it), Mozilla Thunderbird, and
Eudora (just downloaded and trying things). So far, nothing that I have
tried does for me what John's configuration does (drat!). Googling
hasn't turned up a workaround yet.
Any suggestions? Maybe it's as simple as changing the file extension
and using the right client? TIA.

I get the MIME digest. The footer would show up between every message
if I read it that way. But I use Eudora to read my digests, and I use
its ability to "explode" MIME digests back into individual messages.
So the way I see the digest is as a mailbox full of individual
messages that can be sorted by subject, date, etc., and each with its
own footer.
