 PH> What tool exists to convert MSG to JAM format Mark ?

there was the old Mark May Mythical Kingdom (where MK comes from) tool
written with his MKSM106 pascal library that so many folks used... mystic
had/has numerous rememants of that library code* in it ;)

it probably needs to be rebuilt, though... i recall some problems but for
the most part it worked as the library code was written at that time... i
know that i made numerous fixed to the library code over here for my
projects using it...

ISTR there being a couple of other tools out there, too, but i never needed
them so i never actively collected or remember them... one can always, as
suggested, use a message editor like TimED, QuickED or possibly even MsgED
to handle the manual moving of the MSGs into a JAM base... but seriously,
though, the easiest thing would be for mailer capable software to simply
use a MSG format base for the mailer's sole use for stuff like this...

* but no ACK or thanks or other recognition... in fact, pulling the code
from the repo and working with it back in the 1.10 or 1.11 alphas is
exactly how i knew what to tell james as to how to fix the JAM code to
store the seconds which were originally being zeroed out by that library
code... the same library code that brought SQUish to mystic and could just
as easily bring MSG to mystic to solve problems exactly like this
particular one...
