I thought REPLACE was the default?

Would be good. It seems the line separators are the main problem. It 
would be good to maintain a linesep variable per mbox folder that 
contains the actual value.

The Mozilla mbox files use 0x15 as separator, even under Windows. And 
since the files are read in binmode, the character count gets wrong 
because it is adjusted when it shouldn't. Normally the same lineseps 
that were read in should be written out.

Only if you read files in text mode. Binary mode is the same as on *nix.

Thank you!
