Probably not. I didn't know OE would cope with csv.  Which is because I 
avoid it like the plague (I find pegasus and thunderbird much better).  
But are 3 conversions really needed? Isn't there a quicker way?  I was 
really hoping for something that could be scripted - this won't be a 
one-off transfer (although, I grant, infrequent).

But thanks for the advice - I'll look at OE.
