Eudora is a Windows based mail readers which is widely used.  It uses
Berkeley type mail files to store its mail.  However since it's
windows-based the lines end with <CRLF> instead of just <LF>.
So to get mail(1) to read Eudora folders, you first have run them
through vi or sed or whatever.

Attached is a small patch to mail(1) which allows mail to directly
read Eudora folders off a DOS partition.

Would anyone complain bitterly if I committed it?
