   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?

I can see two main reasons:

1. The format as you said
2. Procmail splitting (and anti-spam countermeasures)

Not to forget that, as someone told me, Emacs can only deal with 128Mb
file.

Here are my reasons to use this branch.
