Here's a short script that usually does the MH->unix mail conversion
quite well (I didn't write this - might have been rsalz?):


#! /bin/sh
##  MHtoMT.  MH to UnixMail conversion.  Example:
##	MHtoUM personal
##  Reads all messages in MH directory ./personal, and creates the
##  Unix Mail folder ~/F/personal.
##  Assumes everything else has been cleaned out but MH folders.

X="`date | sed -e 's/^... //'`"
F=$HOME/F
cd $HOME/Mail
for D in ${1-*} ; do
    if [ ! -d ${D} ] ; then
	echo Skipping ${D} -- not a directory
	continue
    fi
    cd ${D}
    for I in `ls | grep -v '[^0-9]' | sort -n` ; do
	 T=`grep '^Date:' <${I} | head -1`
	 Z=`echo $T | sed -e 's/Date:[^,]*, //' -e 's/Date: //'`
#	 echo $I Date is @"$Z"@ >&2
	 if [ -z "${Z}" ] ; then
	     Z="${X}"
	 fi
	 echo ""
	 grep -v '^Replied:' <$I | \
	 sed -e "/Return-Path:/s=\$= ${Z}=" -e "/Return-Path:/s//From /"
    done >${F}/${D}
    cd ..
done
