IIRC the format used in Cyrus IMAP is just a file for every message
containing the hole message, isn't it. So you should be able to just "cat
*. > Cyrus" and put it into the nsmail directory of netscape communicator
4. Maybe you have to modify the cat... because you may have to make sure
there is a blank line between every message.
