That was indeed the reason that I chose it. The thing about
archives is that they are supposed to hang around for a long
time. I’ve been using some form of mh since the 1980s, and the
script that archives my mailboxes hasn’t changed much since
then.

Which is a shame. One of the first things I learnt was that
using in-band data as a separator is a bad idea, so mmdf was
obviously a more sensible format than mbox. The last time I saw
a “>From” that should have been a “From” in a mail body was much
more recent than it should have been.

Well, it’s good that it still does. As I said, archives.
