+Usage: perfect_maildir ~/Maildir < mbox
+
+I wrote this script after being unsatisfied with existing mbox to
+maildir converters. By making it "Simple", code complexity is kept
+low thus making it easy to program and debug. At the same time,
+since it only converts one mbox at a time, it is perfect for use in
+a shell ``for'' loop (for example).
+
+As for being "Perfect", to the best of my knowledge this script does
+the conversion correctly in all cases; it will translate "Status"
+and "X-Status" fields into maildir info, and it correctly detects
+where messages begin and end. (This is only version 0.1 so I may
+have messed something up though. Please send me feedback!)
+
+NOTE: The MUA ``mutt'' has a bug/feature where in the message index,
+it claims that all maildir messages have 0 lines unless they have a
+"Lines:" header set. perfect_maildir does not attempt to add the
+"Lines:" header; you may want to reconfigure ``mutt' to display byte
+size instead of lines instead by adding the following line to your
+~/.muttrc file:
+#
+set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4c) %s"
