Ah yes, good point. ;)

No. Mutt uses content-length: when it exists, which fixes all the
problems for separating messages, and allows trivially to not scan any
msg past its end without incurring a performance penalty for scanning to
the end of the mbox file. It also doesn't trip up on un-escaped "^From ".

Pine ITA is politically anal and doesn't work either.

Is the RFC written for mbox files, or does it implicitly assume you know
when to stop looking when you reach EOF?

Is it possible this should be "\n\nFrom " (unless at BOF)? I.e.
preceeding empty line is required?

Thanks + greetings,
