How ironic. :) A message about a spam script flagged as spam...it's
okay, though, I solved my problem by copying the file elsewhere, then

which of course has the mailbox open when the script runs.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks for your help, and thanks for
writing Mail::Box. It made it all very easy for me.

My script is posted at [1], in case you or anyone on the list is
interested.
