It looks like that patch is the only one in the series with the > ">From" marker in the commit message, from the silly "clarify that > this isn't the first line in a new message in mbox format". > > And "b4 am" has turned the single ">" into two, making the stupid > marker worse, and actually corrupting the end result. It's a bug in b4 that I overlooked. Public-inbox emits mboxrd-formatted .mbox files, while Python's mailbox.mbox consumes mboxo only. The main distinction between the two is precisely that mboxrd will convert ">From " into ">>From " in an attempt to avoid corruption during escape/unescape (it didn't end up fixing the problem 100% and mostly introduced incompatibilities like this one). I have a fix in master/stable-0.6.y and I'll release a 0.6.2 before the end of the week. Thanks for the report. -K
