reversible.
This format is emitted by L<PublicInbox::WWW(3pm)> with gzip.
-It is supported by L<git-am(1)> since git 2.10.
+Since git 2.10, C<git am --patch-format=mboxrd> reads this
+format. C<git log> and C<git format-patch --stdout> can also
+generate this format with the C<--pretty=mboxrd> switch.
As with uncompressed L</mboxo>, uncompressed mboxrd are vulnerable
to undetectable truncation.
servers may use any (or combination) of the aforementioned
formats or a non-standard database backend.
+=head1 eml
+
+A single raw message file. C<eml> is not an output format for lei,
+but accepted by as an C<--input-format> (C<-F>) for read-only
+commands such as L<lei-tag(1)> and L<lei-import(1)>.
+
+Since C<eml> is the suffix for the C<message/rfc822> MIME type
+(according to the C<mime.types> file), lei will infer the type
+based on the C<.eml> suffix if C<--input-format> is unspecified
+
+C<.patch>-suffixed files generated by L<git-format-patch(1)>
+(without C<--stdout>) are C<eml> files with the addition of an
+mbox C<From > header. L<lei(1)> removes C<From > lines to treat
+them as C<eml> when reading these for compatibility with
+C<git-am(1)> and similar tools.
