I didn't say they were and so I'm not sure what you're referring to
here.

In the part you cut out, Amir lamented on the difficulty of pulling down
and importing an mbox.  If part of the problem there is the size of the
monthly mbox (or that the mbox only contains part of the thread, which
can happen), then having the ability to pull down an mbox format of just
the thread would be helpful.  That's a capability which I'm also
interested in and which could be useful to a lot of people, regardless
of their mail client.

Thanks!
