mh handles deals with mail a bit differently that either mutt or netscape. An
mh folder is a directory containg a numbered file for each message, both mutt
and netscape just use one big file with all the messages concatenated together.
to convert fomr a a mh style folder to one readable by netscape you must use
the pack(1) command, and to convert from a mutt folder to an mh one you must
use inc(1):
18:57 sionnach:~/Mail> inc +newfolder -file mailfolder
Create folder "/home/albertw/Mail/newfolder"? y
Incorporating new mail into newfolder...

If I understand your problem corrrectly, you will have to `burst` the digest,
then use packf to make it readble by netscape. You could allways try using
exmh for all your mail which is a nice graphical interface to mh basically,
never tried it on debian, but I use it all the time in work.
hope thats of help,
Al
