[X4U] .mailloc email address files have turned into folders for me!

[Michael Elliott]

Help!  I'm using 10.4.2 on an iMac G4 20".

I have a folder on an iDisk which has about 300 email address  
"bookmarks"  (the foo.mailloc files that come from dragging a  
person's email address to the desktop) which have mysteriously turned  
into folders!

I have repaired permissions, run Disk First Aid in Disk Utility, and  
run Applejack from a single user boot.  No dice.

Does anybody have any idea of how I can change these "folders" back  
to .mailloc files, short of retyping and dragging to the folder for  
each one?  Perhaps some type of file type editor or something?


Thanks!

Michael
