Hi gmime experts;

In notmuch we are using  g_mime_parser_set_format (parser, GMIME_FORMAT_MBOX)
to try to distinguish mboxes containing multiple messages from  those containing
only a single message [1]. The attached message breaks this, because it has
an unescaped "From " inside a (text/plain) attachment.

My question is if you consider this a gmime bug, or should mbox really
take precedence over mime structure? I guess I can see both points of
view, although it would be convenient for notmuch if gmime would
consider wrapping in mime structure as a kind of escaping.

cheers,

David

[1]: this is one of those regrettable backwards compatibility things. We
tried to get rid of it about 7 years ago, and failed.
