  mailbox.mbox Status/X-Status flags RFC? Tim Chase <python.list@tim.thechases.com> - 2012-08-30 12:49 -0500

#28136 — mailbox.mbox Status/X-Status flags RFC?

Playing around with mailbox.mbox, I noticed the flag get split
across Status/X-Status headers.  I dug into the source and read at
[1] to see the *how* but I'm curious as to the *why*.

When I pulled up RFC-4155[2] (mbox), it didn't seem to mention
anything about the Status/X-Status stuff, and the MaildirMessage
stores flags differently (and with different meanings).

Anybody have some insight (or an RFC document) that would help this
make sense to me?

Thanks,
