Dang.  Well, I see that the default is for qmail to use Maildir (not a
surprise), but I see that it unconditionally uses mboxrd to write a mbox
maildrop.

I guess I'm 0 for 2 today.

This suggests to me that everything that reads and writes a mbox file
should have the option to read/write mboxrd, in addition to mboxo
format.  I do not believe it is possible to autodetect which format is
in use, but obviously I've been wrong a lot lately.
