This same issue had also been reported upstream, but upstream believes the current behaviour is correct so I think you need to take it up with them if you disagree: https://github.com/mvz/email-outlook-message-perl/issues/13#issuecomment-616044853 Writing mbox isn't quite as simple as you suggest - e.g. extra care is needed for lines starting "From " in the message body. If this really is wrong then it would be better to get it fixed in Email::Sender::Transport::Mbox (as upstream suggests above) - that would benefit other users of it. Cheers, Olly
