I actually agree with this position.  mbox files are not proper email

really can't expect it to parse them.

i think the point here is that gmime used to support parsing them and now it doesn't.

So if you've got a pre-existing notmuch index (built from when gmime *did* parse them) and you're now running notmuch linked against a gmime that *doesn't* parse them, then notmuch search will produce references to messages that notmuch show can't produce output for.

While i appreciate wanting to be sure that we're working with well-formed files, I don't have a good answer for what the right thing to do is, if gmime upstream agrees with your assessment of the situation.

yuck,
