12.18 `mailbox` -- Read various mailbox formats

This module defines a number of classes that allow easy and uniform access to mail messages in a (Unix) mailbox.

UnixMailbox (fp): Access a classic Unix-style mailbox, where all messages are contained in a single file and separated by ``From name time'' lines. The file object fp points to the mailbox file.

MmdfMailbox (fp): Access an MMDF-style mailbox, where all messages are contained in a single file and separated by lines consisting of 4 control-A characters. The file object fp points to the mailbox file.

MHMailbox (dirname): Access an MH mailbox, a directory with each message in a separate file with a numeric name. The name of the mailbox directory is passed in dirname.

Maildir (dirname): Access a Qmail mail directory. All new and current mail for the mailbox specified by dirname is made available.

BabylMailbox (fp): Access a Babyl mailbox, which is similar to an MMDF mailbox. Mail messages start with a line containing only '*** EOOH ***' and end with a line containing only '\037\014'.
