importing postponed msgs

This is a sort of companion to the other post I just sent:

news:f2lj94dp9od129uoola4hu2fa8su6aagul@4ax.com

I have a properly configured pine, which uses maildir. At the same
time, I have the postponed-msgs mailbox file of another pine at
another account, which is offline currently. I have a whole bunch of
half written mails in that file, which I need to complete with some
urgency, and thus I would like to "import" it under the working pine
to terminate the work there: how can I easily do that? Are there any
issues with the from: field being obviously different?

Well, I would just copy the postponed-msgs to the new machine's mail folder
and open pine. Ie try it.
I cannot see why the from field would cause any problems except that they
might get rewritten, but try it.

I had already tried. But it doesn't work. It is plainly not seen. I
have pine configured to use maildir there. I suppose I must go into
the setup and do some trick there. I suppose I can open a folder in
the standard mailbox format and then save the messages in the "real"
postponed-msgs folder. ISTR that there's a command to do so on the
fly, without changing the configuration. But I'm not really sure, and
a cursory glance at the commands listed at the bottom of the window
didn't shed any light. I feel so "n00b..."
