unix mbox to xml

[hanuman]

any utilities out there to convert unix mbox format to xml... a threaded out put is prefered....any ideas where to start?

I'd start with Perl to parse it and write it out as xml.

You only need to worry about threading when rendering it for display - so thats a job for xslt, sorting on the 'In-Reply-To' header.
