Hi,
Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox, you can add the following
entry in org/apache/tika/mime/custom-mimetypes.xml:
<mime-type type="application/mbox">
<magic priority="70">
<match value="From " type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.mbox"/>
</mime-type>
The priority must be greater than message/rfc822. It sometimes returns
false positives, but detects mbox files without extension, which are very
very commom.
