Subject: Converting from Elm to Pine

Howdy.  After setting up my nice folders and aliases on this Unix
system and using Elm for months, I'd like to switch to Pine.  Is there
an automatic, or partially automatic, method of changing things over,
other than retyping/resaving/re-everything manually?  All help would
be appreciated.  Oh, if this in the faq, I apologize, but my system
just started with this newsgroup, and the faq hasn't yet shown up.  :)

If you set pine to use ~/Mail as maildirectory then folders work
as they should. You do this by editing in .pinerc

# Sub directory in users home directory where mail folders/files are kept
mail-directory=Mail

If You browse through the mailinglist archive you should be able
to find a script that translates elm aliases to pine aliases.
