sebbASF opened a new issue #522:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail/issues/522


   Body lines in mbox files must not start with the characters 'From ' as the 
string identifies the start of the next message.
   
   Unfortunately there is no single standard for how such lines are handled.
   
   The mboxo format changes 'From ' to '>From '; this is ambiguous when 
attempting to regenerate the original email.
   
   The mboxrd format additionally changes '>From ' to '>>From ' etc, which is 
reversible.
   
   Apache HTTPD mod_mbox currently uses mboxo (as far as I am aware).
   The ASF mbox-vm archiver uses mboxrd.
   
   PonyMail currently uses mboxo for generating mbox downloadfiles and defaults 
to reading mbox files as mboxo.
   
   Whilst this is self-consistent, it is not ideal.
   The code should allow for mboxrd support.
