If you're interested in some quick reading about the hilarity of "the mbox format" (such as it is), check this out: http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html In any case: DON'T USE MBOX! It's a lousy format for general-purpose email. The right mbox flavor can be good for read-only archives, but that's about it. ..... I commented that I had *never* experienced any problems with mbox that I knew about and after some further discussion some definitive points were presented that afaiac did not change my mind, I continue to use mbox.
