Nikolaus, good to hear from you again after such a long time, and thanks for
the patch.

On that basis, indeed it's easy to fix. (I don't understand though the
requirement for the mbox's mtime to be preserved after archival, but that's
part of another discussion)

I'm happy to read this, but you wrote similar things quite a while ago without
any effect. I hope this time will be different, and I take this opportunity to
reiterate my suggestion to join me as a co-maintainer of the debian package.

adopted upstream.

How about setting up a git repo with version 0.7.2 + debian patches? I leave
it up to you whether you want me to create one, or make public your repo and
make a branch in it.
