But a brief experiment here suggests that mutt _is_ such a client.
So he couldd open the original mbox in moutt, sort the view, tag all
messages (T.<enter>) then copy all tagged messages to a new folder
(;Cnew_folder<enter>).
ok. that is great to know if i ever have to merge email again.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail
in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this?
And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive
them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

a very wise man who believed in simplification. ;-)
