I'm new to perl. I need to read in the mailbox (mbox) and break it apart
into seperate emails. Of course each email may be different lengths. Each
email starts with From, but there are other lines in the email starting with
From: (notice the colon). So, an email starts at From and ends at the
character prior to the next From.

I then need to store each email off into it's own file, numbered such as
00001, 00002, etc. there will be very many of these.

Any ideas.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Michael
