Absolutely correct, haha.

Yes, I had a strong suspicion I might be the only crazy person who prefers =
this
kind of format :)

My only comment on the public-mailbox choice is that the documentation
is very sparse and erratic. Myself and a couple other people just
couldn't figure out how to convert that format to Maildir or some other
format you could feed into a reader like neomutt.

Do you have any advice on how to convert those public-inbox files
correctly?
