Package: mb2md
Version: 3.20-8
Severity: normal
I pulled an mbox for debian bug #861536 from this URL:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?mbox=yes;bug=861536;mboxmaint=yes
Then i ran mb2md on it to try to turn the mbox into a maildir.
however, it produced a single file in the maildir, rather than the
14-message thread it should have created.
I wrote the following python3 program to extract the messages instead:
-------------------
#/usr/bin/python3
import mailbox
import sys
mbox = mailbox.mbox(sys.argv[1])
mdir = mailbox.Maildir(sys.argv[2])
for x in mbox:
mdir.add(x)
-------------------
and this python program extracted the 14 messages as expected.
I have not dug any deeper into mb2md to figure out why it is
misbehaving.
