I agree that one can open an .mbs file in whatever.But why whould I open  
the email in another emailclient, when I have the text as it is in a .ps  
file, which is very readable, which I can transform very easely
into .pdf and/or send to  a printer. Suppose I would go back to outlook  
for whatever stupid or non-stupid reason, I couldn't open the .mbs file.  
When I would open the file in vi or gedit or emacs I whould see a lot of  
sh.. on the screen, which has to do with the email but nothing with the  
message content.

Am I right?
