Hi Yhg1s!

svn praise shows your name for Lib/mailbox.py more often then other
names. Can you look at my patch and see if it's correct? It fixes most
of the errors in test_mailbox.py and all tests in test_old_mailbox. I'm
unsure about the patch.

If Yhgls is twouters, I think he's on vacation.  Possibly Thomas appears
on the blame list because he did some big integrations.  Is he on the
blame list for the trunk as well?

Anyway I want this over with so I'll look into it.

Yes, Yhg1s is Thomas nick on #python.

On the trunk svn annotate shows Andrew as the author of most lines.
Maybe he can shed some light on the problem. I'm not familiar with the
details of the mailbox format.

I'm not following Py3K development at all, but the patch is pretty short
and seems reasonable.  I think mailboxes should be 7-bit clean in
theory, but have no idea if things are that tidy in practice.

Thanks for your insight, Andrew! Applied in r58881. 

I agree with you but I'm not able to test it with real data. I've no
longer access to our old server at my old dormitory. I had a Qmail
system with maildir there. 

Two tests are still failing with the same error:
======================================================================
FAIL: test_get (test.test_mailbox.TestMaildir)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/heimes/dev/python/py3k-pep3137/Lib/test/test_mailbox.py",
line 138, in test_get
    self.assertEqual(msg.fp.read(), '1')
AssertionError: '\n\n1' != '1'

I fixed the remaining two errors in r58882.
