Hi all;

While adding a new mailing list mirror to my forums, I noticed that the list provider had a full archive of the list messages in mbox format. As a result I whipped up this little script to make it easy to import mbox messages into FUDforum.

The script is attached, and I'll include the script contents inline for your perusal.

<?php
#!/usr/local/php/bin/php -q
<?php
