Just a thought: if it needs to have a From_ mbox
message header (or if it needs to not have that), it
might be worth mentioning. Even if the mbox message
header is optional, it might be worth mentioning that
it's optional. And I think there are several variations
on the mbox file format (maybe 5?). Which ones, if any,
are supported? Nothing's ever obvious or trivial,
especially when it comes to email. :-)
