Subject: Saved mail read on PC-Pine and SCO with elm. Good ideas ?

We are using PC-Pine with an SCO UNIX as mailserver. The mailer program 
on SCO is mmdf.

On the SCO UNIX system we use elm as the mail reader/poster.

Now it is so that PC-Pine can understand and read mails saved with elm on 
the SCO but elm can't understand and read mails saved with PC-Pine. The 
reason is that mmdf and elm saves mails in folders with a line with 4 
CTRL-As before and after each mail in the folder. If these CTRL-A's are 
not there elm declares the folder corrupt.

Does someone have a good idea about hov to solve that problem ?

Of course we could read the mails in the folders with PC-Pine and resend 
it to ourselves and then read the incoming mail with elm. But that is a 
bit to crazy.
