http://www.python.org/sf/1599254 is a bug in the mailbox.py module that affects single-file mailbox formats (mbox, Babyl, MMDF) and can cause data loss.

A proposed fix, mailbox-unified-patch, is attached to the bug. If you use mailbox.py for modifying mailboxes in the above formats, can you please test the patch and report if there are any problems? The bug is pretty complicated, and such bugs in the mailbox.py (and the necessary fixes) make me nervous. Some more testing would be very reassuring.
