Re: [LI] Recovering mails from Outlook Express

Of course, once you convert to Netscape format 
using MstoNS , it is basically in mbox format (at least
on Linux - see Jamie Zawinski's famous paper on this format
on the web , for more info), and you can use most other MUAs 
to access it, including my favourite - 'mail -f filename'.
