  "The mbox format that `unrmail' should produce.
These formats separate messages using lines that start with \"From \".
Therefore any lines in the message bodies that start with \"From \"
must be quoted.  The `mboxo' format just prepends a \">\" to such lines.
This is not reversible, because given a line starting with \">From \" in
an mboxo file, it is not possible to know whether the original had a \">\"
or not.  The `mboxrd' format avoids this by also quoting \">From \" as
\">>From \", and so on.  For this reason, mboxrd is recommended.
