Re: [exim] MBX Driver - on non MBX file

I wish you would think about this. If you are going to append an MBX
file that is not an MBX there are several choices:

1) Switch to the file's real format automatically.
2) Defer the message until it is deliverable.
3) Corrupt the target file.

I vote for 1 and against 3.

Would be nice to set a feature to turn on smart appending.
