The text file looks exactly like an mbox file - it is the two messages, 
complete with headers, concatenated.

There already is an .INBOX.Design folder, set up with all the correct 
contents.  I wonder what would happen if I renamed Design to Pattern?  
I wonder if .INBOX.Design would then show up?

And if it did, would I be able to simply move the messages into the 
correct folder using a file manager?
