Maybe I'm missing something, but that looks a lot like a header and not much like an mbox delimiter.
That is the format--_if_ the data is transported in a header. However, it is not a MUST to use the header. RFC 1123 clarifies:
The MAIL FROM: information may be passed as a parameter or in a Return-Path: line inserted at the beginning of the message.
In IMail's case, the info is passed in the Q file and is inserted in the MBOX From_ line. It's neither convenient nor majority MTA behavior, don't get me wrong, but I believe it is compliant.
Why must IMail buck convention? -- why not create the return-path header?
