Thanks for the pointer. However, the module doesn't seem to handle
mbox format mailboxes, and the mailbox module doesn't offer a method
of generating data in a form that can be passed to mimecntl (that
would need mimecntl.MIME_document to have a constructor from a
rfc822.message).

I hand-parsed the Unix mbox format file in the end - it's not hard,
after all...

Thanks,
Paul.
