1) (non UNICODE question, I think) to make the script start with the
Perl mentioned above, I had to replace "concat" with "open" in line
1251: what is concat? I *never* found it in my Perl manuals. Is "open"
equivalent?

Odd, when I downloaded this same script just now, there was no "concat" 
to be found anywhere in it.  Line 1251 was:

The author said more or less "I know what happened, try to download it
with wget, not your normal browser (Mozilla)" I did that, and, sure
enough, open was there, not concat....


2) (Unicode question) The script gives tons of warning like these:

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) at ./
mb2md-3.10.pl line 1343, <MBOX> line 3009.

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x20,
immediately after start byte 0xc8) in pattern match (m//) at ./
mb2md-3.10.pl line 999, <MBOX> line  9706. 

[snip] 
In the meantime, you could try altering your copy of mb2md to add this
line (e.g. next to "use strict;"):

   no utf8;

I had time to try it only now: same behavior as before. If nobody has
other suggestions here, I'll post your message to the author, and wait
for him to fix :-(

Of course, thanks a lot for your time: any further feedback/test
request is welcome. If anybody is interested, I can even send a test
mailbox of mine, to reproduce the problem.
