Yes, you're right. I am just starting to use Thunderbird for replying 
and that is very annoying. I suppose it won't be long until I try to 
build it myself so I can fix these problems.

I converted them using a C++ program I wrote. It is Q&D and has no 
guarantees. You just give it your PMMail directory and a destination 
directory. It creates mailboxes and folders using the PMMail names. You 
can then copy these to the Thunderbird "Local Files", or if you are 
using POP you can copy then directly to that location.

I put the program on my webserver. I have a fairly slow connection, so 
if it gets bogged down, I might remove it. I promise that the program 
worked for me and that I don't have anything malicious in it. I include 
the source except for one function that I borrowed from my work code.
