Please tell us how you'd use tar and scp to copy your messages over to
a machine that uses (for example) the Eudora mailer.  Please give us
specific details.

Continuing this thought-experiment, tell us how, after you'd used
Eudora for a while, please tell us how you'd import all of your mail
into Thunderbird.

Thanks,

         many times, and I am currently accessing my mail with two
         different mailers)
