I was merely trying to locate any source that would define or
systematically describe the layout of Berkley MBOX (Unix mailbox) format.
I just couldn't find anything. Not a shred of page referring to
MBOX and Berkley
Unix near Berkley
Berkley and RFC

The Berkley MBOX is legendary, so there must be some document covering it.
Does anyone know where?
