Playing around with mailbox.mbox, I noticed the flag get split across Status/X-Status headers. I dug into the source and read at [1] to see the *how* but I'm curious as to the *why*.
When I pulled up RFC-4155[2] (mbox), it didn't seem to mention anything about the Status/X-Status stuff, and the MaildirMessage stores flags differently (and with different meanings). Anybody have some insight (or an RFC document) that would help this make sense to me? Thanks, -tkc [1] http://docs.python.org/library/mailbox.html#mboxmessage [2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
