Hi Larry,
The profile information was something I looked up last night on Mozilla but
you clarified it for me.
I managed to get the files to show up in Thunderbird, but they come up
empty. by that I mean the subject, date, sender, etc shows up in the inbox
but there is no content. I know there is because I looked at the txt files
and they wwere really good thanks to your utility.
This also happened with just a regular import of OE mail. The listings
showed up in the inbox but no content.
Have you ever come across this?
Thanks,
Frank
