working with mbox from PHP

For the site that I am working on (with vBulletin) I want to be able to import a stack of emails that I have in the mbox format.

The workable but not efficient way to do this would be to use the POP3 import facility for the module I am using, however that's fine if you are not using Qmail (which for the record I am a fan of) and cannot get one of the conversion scripts to work.

So its back to doing things properly.   Enter mbox.php that can be found on PAIR (pair.php.net).  Very nice PHP library that allows working with the mbox file a lot like working with a POP3 server.

Using this I am porting the code to take input from this class instead.  Very simple, very nice.  (and more complete than I need - I do not need to edit emails as stored in the mbox for example)
