I'd say if you complain about a tool not documenting what mbox format
it is using, that is a minor bug.
If you want an option to also support another mbox format but mboxo,
then I'd vote for wishlist severity.
Ambiquity about lines starting with from in mboxo format is the same
like storing the value 0007 in an integer and getting 7 back when
asking for the value. Or like storing a filename in a FAT filesystem
and getting it back when asking for a file with the name converted
to upper case.
