Bug#904664: msgconvert mbox output issues

Package: libemail-outlook-message-perl
Version: 0.918-2

hello,
with the --mbox option the msgconvert outputs file with two problems

1. the "From " line contains full "From: " header, while it's supposed to
contain only the address, without < and > brackets, with one space
separating address and date (two spaces are used now).

the:

>From ARTROVEX <iqputks at instagro.biz.ua>  Thu Jul 26 13:17:40 2018

should be:

>From iqputks at instagro.biz.ua Thu Jul 26 13:17:40 2018

2. output lines are end with CR-LF characters. CR's should be stripped, at
leasst on unix systems.


I have compared output with and without --mbox and the only differences are
- From line
- mime boundaries
- new lines.

Since the 2nd problem seems to come from Email::Sender::Transport::Mbox, I
believe that package could be avoided, and mbox files can be written to
single file starting each mail with "From address RFC822-date" and ending
with empty line.
