[X-Unix] Parsing or splitting a text file

[Scott]

It sounds like this document is a standard mbox format. If you're  
needing to split these into individual files,  formail and procmail  
can help do this, if you're on Panther or earlier.

If you're using Tiger, use Mail.app . It can import standard mbox  
files ('cause they are just Mail.app mbox files) and it stores it's  
mail in individual files, which you can then locate in ~/LibraryMail/ 
Import/..some_directory/ .

If you don't need to split into individual files, but you just need  
to have the messages be presented as individual mail messages, then  
Mail.app's import feature will do fine whether in Panther or Tiger.  
It'll probably work back to 10.0 or 10.1, too.
