Just in case someone's wondering... Jacob's got a bunch of mbox files 
which he wanted to share in splitted form without really splitting the 
files.

What he did was redefine *.mbox as gopher type 1 menu (with a simple 
command line argument), and then coded a filter called "mbox" which 
splits the mbox files into separate messages in real-time. Or actually, 
if there's no query parameter the filter spits out a menu listing all 
the messages and if there is a query parameter it spits out a single 
message.

Ingenious.

I remember someone on this list saying that real-time content 
transcoding is "stupid" and "kills the server" and "cannot be done".

Hee hee...
