Their files are in mbox format, but it doesn't contain what your UNIX mailbox would contain if you received the message on a UNIX machine. If you use those files "as-is," you'll lose all of your attachments and metadata. Eudora does not keep metadata as headers, so you can't tell what's been read (for example) unless you can interpret the proprietary index file. It also strips out attachments and removes the "envelope From" information from the message (all you'll see is @@@?@@@). A proper import utility for Eudora has to create the standard header that gives message status, and re-encode and re-attach the attachments. --Brett
