Here are the steps I used on each mail folder (43 of them):

1. Run The Bat!.
2. Click on a message in the mail folder.
3. Press Alt+0 (zero) to not thread messages by references.
4. Press Ctrl+A to highlight all messages.
5. Click Tools | Export Messages | UNIX Mailbox.
6. In the Save Messages window enter a file name to save the messages.
7. Press Alt+1 (one) to threading messages by references.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 until all messages in all mail folders
   have been exported.

Then I copied the UNIX mailbox files over to the Mac OS X computer into
the Mozilla Mail directory.  I checked a few of the mail folders in
Mozilla Mail and I did not see any duplicates.

The above steps seems to solve this UNIX Mailbox export problem in The
Bat!. However, all messages should have exported using the original
steps. It would even be easier to export all messages from The Bat! by
selecting highlighting all message (Ctrl+A) whether the message threads
are collapsed or not without needing to expand all message threads
(Ctrl+*).

My perception on this issue is that the above steps compensates for a
bug in The Bat!'s UNIX Mailbox export feature.
