I should add, for anyone who wants to try this, is that what you end up with
in Mail is absolutely nothing aside from an empty folder. Bill F. mentioned
that Mail uses Unix-style linefeeds - well, what else would you expect?
Entourage, a little more aware than Apple that it operates on a Macintosh
computer, uses carriage returns. A suitable routine for rewriting the mbox
file substituting LF for CR, and negotiating the 4060+ list limitation when
you ask for paragraphs of an immense MBOX file (which may, of course contain
gigantic encoded attachments) does the trick. Done.
