| While others have addressed formail here, I will add a note on the RFC.
| Nothing in the mail RFCs addresses the storage of multiple messages;
| indeed, the "From " line itself is not part of any RFC, but rather
| a commonly-used line added during mail delivery on many systems.
RFC 2076 mentions that well known format:
http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc2076.html
...This header is used in the so-
called Unix mailbox format, also
known as Berkely mailbox format
or the MBOX format. This is a
format for storing a set of
messages in a file. A line
beginning with "From " is used to
separate successive messages in
such files.
But I couldn't find the actual specification nowhere from the web.
Altavista returned 0 results. Amazing!
