Subject: mbox support in other software
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 07:34:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210916073437.GA18469@dcvr> (raw)
Since I've written the lei-mail-formats manpage, I've been
curious what other software differentiates between the various
mbox formats and supports several/all of them?
AFAIK, none of the Perl Mail::* stuff does, nor does Email::Folder
(AFAIK abandoned). I haven't looked at libraries for Python nor
other languages...
git supports mboxo and mboxrd, nowadays; but it seems like most
other software only know how to deal with one of the mbox family
(and mixing software on the same mbox leads to bad things).
