Copy queue

Anybody know a way to copy the mail queue from one install to another? Our
qmail server went very very bad yesterday. After tinkering with it for a
couple of hours, we were able to get the queue working but could not get any
messages delivered. Since the machine was overdue for a replacement, we
setup a replacement machine, installed qmail, and copied the mailbox
directories and control files. It replaced the old server beautifully,
except we have several hundred messages stuck in the queue of the old
machine. How can we get the queued messages over to the new machine?

One way is to copy the bad queue as a whole to a temporary space on the
new box.

Then re inject the messages with the information defined in the info
file for the sender and recipients.
