What 'part'? Both statements I made are true. This *is* a well known bug 
in the 0.99 series, and you *should* upgrade to 1.0.0 if possible.

I'm not a fan of mbox, but I hardly think that this is a true statement 
in general, but I guess I could be wrong.

All I know is, when we were using 0.99, it happened a *lot*... meaning, 
at least once every other day I had to fix an mbox for someone...
