You're right, as long as message reading is stopped by /From email
ascdate\/ rather than /\nFrom email ascdate \n/.

Well, as there is no real authoritative specification, it is at least a
valid sup mbox, isn't it?

I used mbox for years, and never encountered any problems -- well,
that's not true. sup sometimes had trouble to show messages several
years old, they were still in the mbox and I can view them now after I
converted the mbox to maildir (using python's mbox and maildir modules,
I'm afraid). But that should be another issue, and I don't see any way
nor need nor resources to address it.
Let's close this issue.
