mboxShell v0.6.2

Fast terminal viewer for MBOX files of any size.

What's new in v0.6.2

Fixes the source-mailbox header on Apple Mail exports, and documents the flag that shipped undocumented in v0.6.1. 7 new tests (202 total).

  • Fix — merge --source-header now writes the mailbox name you know, not mbox. Apple Mail exports a mailbox as a directory Inbox.mbox containing a file called literally mbox, which is the path actually read — so X-Mbox-Source was stamped mbox on every message of every such mailbox, making a merged archive untraceable, which is the one thing the header exists for. The label now comes from the containing .mbox package, while a file named mbox outside a package keeps its own name (Thunderbird stores look like that). Mailboxes that would share a label are disambiguated against each other (Work/Inbox.mbox vs Personal/Inbox.mbox).
  • Fix — the docs described a merge --dedup flag that does not exist. Deduplication is on by default and the real flag is --no-dedup; anyone copying the documented command got an error. --source-header shipped in v0.6.1 with no documentation at all — both READMEs and both manuals now cover it.
  • Fix — the merge summary line Tagged with source was hardcoded in English while every other line went through the message catalogue; it is now translated.
