<doh>  never mind.  <blush>

{{{
    #!/bin/sh
    for i in 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014; do

	    cat $eyejay >> interhist.mbox
	    echo >> interhist.mbox
	    rm $eyejay
	    done
	done
}}}

one small problem.  the archive did not preserve even the mail headers,
e.g., note the missing To:

{{{
    From feinler at earthlink.net  Tue Mar 30 10:12:29 2010
    From: feinler at earthlink.net (Elizabeth Feinler)
    Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:12:29 -0700
    Subject: [ih] Naming and addressing 1971-1989
    Message-ID: <79638F43-21A2-4060-A4DB-CFBA39BD11A2 at earthlink.net>
}}}

and another.  does someone know how to decode jake feinler's
