Does anybody have suggestions on what to do with corrupt MBX
and/or MBOX files?  Besides delete them and start over?

Mahogany started acting weird on my system, claiming that my
local mail files were "Unterminated" e.g.:

18:34:32: Mail log: Unterminated mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Note, the above was generated with debug on, logging to a file.
 No other data was logged or generated)

I've been looking around for some sort of repair or conversion
tool, but the closest I seem to come is a UWASH IMAP tool called
"mbxcvt" which alleges to convert any mail format to any other
mail format (thinking perhaps it would do some sanity checking
during the conversion).

On my systems, it seems to take a plain MBOX file, mush it up
into one gigantic message and then output it as an mbx.  Running
the other way (from mbx to mbox), it simply fails with a "file
already created" error.

I'm definitely looking for something a tad more robust than that...

I'm open to any ideas, except maybe manually editing the
mailfile (some are over 500 messages).

Feel free to reply to me directly, I have Digest turned on for
this list and SourceForge is having real issues getting list
traffic to me (one digest in the past week, containing one
message and the archives on the list page haven't been updated
since Feb 26th) and won't respond to list commands to turn off
Digest mode.

Thanks,
