Is it just me or is this process missing a key ingredient? I tried to import my Eudora (for Windows) mailboxes only to end up with a bunch of folders with one huge message each. That message contained every message in the folder lumped into a single file. Doing some research turned up the problem. CR/LF.
Now I've tried to grin and bear it when it comes to "switch" hassles but this is just plain dumb. I'm importing mail from Eudora 5.1, not some obscure program. I've probably spent 4 or 5 hours trying to figure this out because it never occurred to me that CR/LF conversion was still a problem. Come on, Apple. You ran all those "switch" ads telling us how easy it is to change platforms and then you left CR/LF conversion out of your mail import system. Give me a break!
There. I'm done venting. As a geek, the fact that I can type
(BTW, that won't handle names with spaces.)

in a shell and "fix" the files makes up for it.
