[MM3-users] Re: Importing mbox files into archive defect with lines with From

• Stephen J. Turnbull:

Almost certainly not a bug in Python.

Agreed.

If you've been shocked by the date on that post, no, *nothing* has changed since then. Jamie explains why.

Well, there's https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155 , but the amount of information presented is, as expected, very limited. I like the term "anecdotally documented" in that RFC. ;-)

Having had a shot at writing a robust mbox parser/converter myself, I came across numerous different formats/flavours, and frankly "mbox" is best avoided.
