It should be possible to read a mail folder with a different program,
without forwarding. For example, you could try mozilla (aka thunderbird,
seamonkey or whatever), that usually does a good job with extrange char
emails. You just have to simlink the mbox folder to another (new) one
where mozilla can see it. I published the details of this in the old
unofficial suse faq. Something like this:

Mail/mbox <--- normal mbox folder



mozilla-mail/mbox --> simlink to the above.
mozilla-mail/mbox.msf empty (will be the index)


This would work provided that particular email isn't broken.

Well, in spite of fooling with Linux for years, I'm still a newbie
at this. I have a version of thunderbird on Windows, and it looks
like I could use it on Linux, instead of KMail, but I have no idea
where it lives, or how to install it. I brought up Yast2, and
put in the names Thunderbird (upper and lower case versions) and
Seamonkey, but Yast had no clue. (I had CD1 in the drive.)
In words of one syllable or less, how do I find and install
Thunderbird? (I actually have Mozilla Firefox on the desktop.)
