I read somewhere (probably this list, since I don't read any Apple ones) 
that they had changed from mbox to something else in order to make 
spotlight more useful in mail searches - so presumably it's one message 
per file, or something like that.

It looks as though it may be still mbox format - but with a separate 
file per message. So for the purposes of reading mail from Rev, not much 
difference - sorry for the false alarm.  (nb - I don't *know* that but 
Google found a couple of blog pages that suggest it is now one 
mbox-format file per message, and it sounds likely).
