What are the main reasons for switching from Babyl to mbox format in
Rmail? Are there technical or conceptual problems with the Babyl
format, or is it just a case of wanting compatibility with a more
widely used format?
mbox format is smaller, and provides more compatibility. We
originally used Babyl format to provide certain features, but later on
people figured out how to implement the same features with mbox format,
eliminating the reason to use Babyl.
