I suppose that's a reason, but it just seems like mbox has been the
standard for approximately forever and MMDF is one of those weird relics
like UUCP that I only hear about once in a million years.

So it's been broken for ... 12 years and no one cared until now? You're
not exactly selling me on this :-)

tin seems like it's a Usenet reader? Am I wrong?
The reason I bring this up is I had vague plans on writing a mail

support in it. Well, that would only be for parsing a maildrop; obviously
it wouldn't matter for parsing individual messages.
