Right.  My point was that the original would still be recoverable (by
using the new algorithm).  The message in the mbox does not change.
In this way it is different than the Content-Length hack.  If you use
the old tools on that a CL-mbox, it could do unrecoverable damage to
the mbox and the individual messages.
