Yes, but mailbox.mbox expects a file object as the argument and in
case we directly want to use the gzip, then I have to convert the
string to a StringIO object and then pass it to mailbox.mbox as is
obvious. So if you don't want the mbox archives at all, I can do that
but then it will involve changing the code at many parts and so we
should just let it be :) Create, parse and later delete if you want.
