[nflug] merge two mail files

[Brad Bartram]

Convert both files to valid XML.  Write a SOAP service using the language of
your choice that will take the XML input and write it to a single file.
 Send both XML docs to the new SOAP service.  Covert your XML file back to
plaintext.
Couldn't be any simpler!

(Sorry, just gettin' stupid this morning while waiting for my database to
finish its processing)
