Subject: Is there a way to convert from files to folders?

Very often, I use the Export command to join similar messages into one 
file in the home directory.  Last night, I got to thinking that some 
messages have more value and deserve to be saved more than others.  I 
tried moving the file to the "mail directory.  It did register as one of 
my folders, but when I accessed it with Pine, it told me it was only one 
read-only message.  I copied a folder into my home directory and examined 
it, but did not find anything different about it.  There were several 
blank lines between the end of one message and the beginning of the 
next.  Is there a way to edit a file so that Pine will see it as a series 
of messages?  Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, Pine 3.91 has a bug in the Export command such that the
message separator is missing a space (before the date, I think) so that
Pine does not recognize it as a valid message separator.

Sorry... but if you're handy with Unix tools you should be able to fix
the file.
