mesh import for blender?

[ibrown]

Apologies if this is a FAQ ... but I looked and could not find anything.

Is there any tool available that will allow me to import a .mesh file into blender? The scenario is when you have .max files and the exported .mesh, but do not have max itself. The solution would be to either pursuade a max user to export the file in a form that blender can read, or preferably to be able to read the exported mesh into blender.
