(Not sure if this goes here)
The mbox class (actually, the _singlefileMailbox class) takes a path,
and not, as the old mailbox module did, an opened file object.  This
makes it hard(er) to access gzipped mbox files (mailbox.open = gzip.open
works, but is ugly).

Jürgen, would you consider writing a patch?
