Thanks.  Yes, it works... sort of.  It imports only one directory, not 
the subdirectories.  Still better than nothing.

Side Note:   Thunderbird is very finicky about "From " lines. Make sure 
you quote every line that begins with "From ".  I mean every occurrence, 
even if it's not preceded by blank line.  Mutt is more tolerant.
