No, on Plan 9 it still sucks, because you're writing a whole new version of the file every single time you add or delete a message from an mbox store. This has consequences for big churny mailstores, and they fill up disks fast. mbox is better with MIME encoding but it still irreparably sucks as a storage format even when you ignore parsing problems. I hate it and I want it to die. khm
