Perhaps accept only the strict format by default and have an option to accept any line starting with "From " as a separator? Moreover, I think that in the cases where a "From " line is required during parsing (e.g. at the start of a mbox file or at a position obtained from the Content-Length of the previous message), it is always safe to accept any "From " line format (instead of giving an error saying that the mailbox is corrupted). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
