The good news (compared to lei) is we only have to worry about imports and don't care about the filename nor keywords, so it's immune to .mh_sequences writing inconsistencies across MH implementations and sequence number packing. We still assume the writer will write the mail file with one of: * rename(2) to create the final sequence number filename * a single write(2) if not relying on rename(2) mlmmj and mutt satisfy these requirements. Python's Lib/mailbox.py may, I'm not sure...
