Just to be clear the "then they can just click on them" part refers to
the individual maildir messages renamed to something.eml, not the actual
folder containing them.

FWIW if the was a Maildir in the current directory then something like
this would copy and rename them...

mkdir EmlMsgs
for i in `ls -1 Maildir/cur`; do cp Maildir/cur/$i EmlMsgs/$i.eml; done

But Thunderbird, and probably other mail programs, would only allow
viewing them one at a time using this simplistic method.
