Either you've lost me or we're talking past each other. I prefer
Maildir, in case that isn't clear. I've heard too much whining about
mbox corruption to care any longer about mbox format. It may work for
static archives, but it'd best be accompanied by a useful index in that
case, to avoid the recurring search "where is my <CR><LF>From<SP> line".
