Subject: [PATCH] mbox: clarify our use of the the mboxrd variant
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2015 01:55:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440294900-4583-1-git-send-email-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Commenting it in the From: line seems appropriate and
reduces compatibility problems in case a MUA cannot handle
trailing comments after the timestamp.
