Silly mortal, assuming software adheres to standards. Have you watched
that video yet? :)

I watched about half of "Email hatest the Living" on Google, entertaining
stuff! I will watch the rest.

In case of Thunderbird mbox format, the mbox files normally begin with
'From', at least so it does in other working T-Bird mail files from the
same system where the 2.8GB mail file comes from. It appears that T-Bird is
using some compression format when an mbox file hits a certain size:

If I only knew which, I could try and uncompress it.
