<shrug> I happened to be poking at scripting Eudora recently, and

This explains Chris' result.  The real question is, and maybe this 
isn't hard (but I'm hoping I don't have to find out), how to turn 
"toothgnip:5231" into a path that can be used with File::Find?

Yeah, finding this may be a little difficult.  There isn't an 
equivalent setting to setting 45 for any of the other folders.  Which 
is kind of odd, really, as they have to capture that info. So they 
must not have decided to expose it. <shrug>
