I guess using the mailbox class already implies that you do _not_ want to "simply put the msgs into an mbox file" but rather want the class to do what it was designed for: "put proper msgs properly into an mbox file". We can't have it both ways I fear. If we simply want to stuff a file with bytes and call that mbox we should do so: drop the bytes into a file and call it an mbox file.
