Last I looked, which would have been years ago, I could find nothing definitively standardizing mbox format. There are a lot of forensic descriptions, nothing (AFAICT) authoritative. Variations include: innovative line endings, hard blank lines added after every message, enhanced no-colon From lines (ugh), and Content-Length headers, sometimes in lieu of '^From ' escaping. There are probably others. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
