The default mode for reading mbox files should also be modified a bit to maximize the support fordifferent implementations. See #11728.

I think we should still use the mboxo format by default when writing, and the "default" format of RFC 4155 when reading. We could then add a "format" parameter to the mbox constructor to alter the writing and/or reading behavior to match a specific mbox format.

According to RFC 4155, the best reference for different mbox formats is http://qmail.org./man/man5/mbox.html.
