Here's what I do, I copy the appropriate Thunderbird mail file
the my $HOME directory and them use mutt -f mailbox_name. This
is a pain but if you don't do this the original mail box gets
messed up. I hope someone has a better solution.

My solution is a bit of an overkill, but works fine. I have configured 
an imap server (using dovecot). Then I made symlinks on ~/mail to point 
to the files used by thunderbird in windows. Then all I have to do is 
use an imap compatible client to read those e-mails... And with this 
approach, you can install squirrelmail (a webmail program that I believe 
comes with FC4).
The only downside of this approach is that when I go back to windows, 
Thunderbird has to recreate the indexes for all those folders, but at 
least that is a fast operation.
