A script ... for those attachments...?
Authored by: aamann on Dec 13, '04 07:07:42PM
You might want to look at "Mail Scripts" for exporting Mail.app mailboxes into standard mbox files without having to go through all the manual hassle:

As a side note - you will most probably lose all status information (read, replied, ...) doing things that way. This includes the little attchment indicator in Thunderbird. It should show up again once you actually select a message in Thunderbird and it realizes that there are some attachments present. It should be possible to preserve that status information (even using AppleScript) - I will look into cooking up a little script to do so later tonight (I don't currently have access to a Mac to try things...)
