Sure, I could. But if you have a client which supports mboxes, it's
probably better to use the mbox. With your solution, I send the patch to
the imap server, then fire up the mail client and re-download the
patch, possibly mark it up, and then send it out by smtp. The latency
increase can be noticeable, especially for big patches and slow imap
servers.

Oh come on, Real Men just edit the mbox in vi. :)
