I'm sure I'm not the only one that moves around the globe with a
few hundred megs of mail folders in mbox format in his back.  And
it happens to me to open my mail folders / mailbox / etc on a
Solaris, or other unices...  My point is that mbox is such an
standard now.  Is there any practical problem with that?
Something like a stopper?
