No error and nothing else but the permissions/user/group/size/date/filename.
E.g.
ls -lah $filename
-rw-r--r--@ 1 user  staff	2.3M Aug 17  2022  $filename

Notice some files have the "@", others don't.

I guess the answer is no...
Some files are in "/Users/.../Library/Mail/", some in a folder which 
holds data taken from an older Mac.

No.
Most are .nib, but I also see see one ".pdf", one ".strings", one 
".itxib", one ".plist"...

That would be a good question.
I hoped someone who knows would step up.
If I had to bet on this, I'd say no, since only a few of these files 
seem to have extended attributes (see above for the @).

Unfortunately I'm not sure these can be excluded.
I'd have to check with the user (which will be a hard task).
