Mozilla doesn't save each POP file to disk *individually*?? Wow. That's like
AOL (makes it very very difficult to access your POPs). Suppose you want to
change Email clients -- how do you move your old POPs to the new client? I
think it's precisely designed to do that -- inhibit a change of Email clients.
Not what I would expect from Mozilla.

Grrrr. So "EML" is text by another name? Too many programs try to do your
thinking for you these days. TXT should be raw, IMO -- no alterations
whatsoever!
