help: RMAIL file format ?? |

While usually very reliable, my unix shell provider dreamhost.com just had
some major attack againt it and all the mail files are jumbled up.
No longer can I access "Mail" from the shell; I get
Mail: /home/barzilai/Maildir/: Is a directory
Well, "pine" works, but I've used emacs since 1988 and don't
care for pine at all..so I try using rmail-get-new-mail
with control-u so I can specify file format...
I see Maildir/ has a subdirectory Maildir/new/ but
every mail message there is separate; files have names like
-rw------- 1 barzilai pg6640 3480 Jan 3 2001 1025163484.000001.mbo\
x:2,S
I try "cat * >> allmail" and then to run RMAIL on "allmail" but no go;
likewise for trying to run RMAIL on an individual file like the above;
emacs says it can't convert them into babyl format...while support
staff deals with this attack (the third major one in 4.5 years I'm
with them) it may take a while before my query gets to an
emacs savvy person of their staff so since I depend (don't
we all?)on daily, frequent access to email, I'd appreciate any ideas;

Thanks!
