I'm having a bit of trouble updating the three years of listserv files I
have to mbox format--or any format that arch can understand. I receive the
files as body text of an email, that looks basically like this:

=========================================================================
Date:         Sun, 3 Sep 1995 00:12:51 -0500
Reply-To:     Moacir <mpdesape at MIDWAY.UCHICAGO.EDU>
Sender:       foo-l <foo-l at UICVM.UIC.EDU>
From:         Moacir <mpdesape at MIDWAY.UCHICAGO.EDU>
Subject:      Problems with St Stephen and the brown-eyed woman
Comments: To: foo-l at uic.edu

the first series of messages.

The second message, etc.


---------------- 

all the way to the end. Now, we've managed to convert those lines of "="
into what looks like a normal email "From" line, but it still doesn't
seem to be working out right.

Any quick hints on how to mboxify (or anything arch can read) this file
format?
