I think this can be summed up pretty clearly. mbox format inmport into
XML is necessary. Later on in a future version this will be on the fly
so nobody will have to convert anything. This is all not version 1
stuff though, this is on the import side to get to XML, not the XML ->
browser that is our version 1 as I understand it.
Right?
