Except PortableUnixMailbox is extremely demanding in that every
non-message-delimiting "\nFrom " must be mangled to "\n>From ",
otherwise it will be mistaken for a delimiter.  Since Alexander's
whole problem is that he has un-mangled "\nFrom " lines in his archive,
PortableUnixMailbox won't work for him.

Have I mentioned that the mbox format sucks?  ;-)
