That kind of silliness is uncalled for, and I doubt it'll get you far.

While that's possible (since mbox is so badly specified that every
implementation tends to use its own flavour), I doubt it.

Maybe you're mixing it up with some mbox-based storage system (like
Mozilla's sbd folders). Or maybe you're right, and KMail has a funky
way of doing things - but it'd need an example to convince me.
