Message:

do not hardcode $newroot

$newroot is composed of two elements: the Thunderbird profile, and a
directory inside this profile. Both can be specified on the command
line, but the profile will be determined automatically if possible. Note
that this commit also fixes a bug in the command-line handling of
$oldroot and $profile (oops!).

 incorrect, you need to specify the correct folder with B<-oldroot>.
 
+The mails will be imported into the Thunderbird profile that is either
+specified with B<-profile> or determined automatically. The script will try to
+determine the default Thunderbird profile automatically. If there is a folder
+that ends in F<.default> in the F<.thunderbird> directory in your home dir, and
+if it is unique, that one will be used.
+
+The mails finally end up in a subdirectory below the profile. You must specify
+the subdirectory on the command line with B<-subdir>, as shown in the examples
+above.
