I've just checked again, but as I thought, I can only export the
messages into one textfile. I can export them with or without
headers, make them !rmail separated or not, remove sigs; but still
only into the same textfile.
What exactly is the UNIX mailbox format? I would have thought that
would be my best bet here, but it doesn't seem to work.
