Pmmail does not care about the message file names. I needed to upload a large 
number of messages from a unix style mailbox. I knocked up a rexx script that extracted 
each message and just plonked it into a pmmail folder with a name like msg00010, 
msg00020 etc. When I had finished I told pmmail to reindex the folder and it picked 
them all up.

You can also tweak the contents file yourself - buts thats a bit iffy. I have used it for 
dropping mail from other sources into my outbox and kidding pmmail into sending it.
