It's not compressed -- it's just a plain text file that stores the raw
email (with full headers, etc). In fact, when you delete a message
it's not really deleted in the mbox -- a flag in a header is just
changed to "deleted" and then when the mailbox is next compacted in
thunderbird, all the deleted messages are pruned.
