Me too!

I've never used git-send-email. I'll give it a whirl on my next patch.

Haha! I originally used "--format" and changed for some reason that escapes me
now.

Implementing an "mbox" formatted output in the current logic wouldn't be
archive perfect. The message body is emitted on a per-part basis.

What I would do is change the semantics of format->body to be called from
show_message. Then the text and json parts would point at the original
implementation passing off their per-part function pointers. And, a new mbox
implementation would just dump the full message body.
