Thomas,
The unixfrom feature of the rfc822 module is at best questionable --
it it not part of the mail headers as defined by RFC-822!
Why do you need access the Unix from header through the mailbox
module?
Your patch worries me: the dependency between _search_start() and
next() through the _skipfirst variable begs for problems in
subclasses.
