\begin{classdesc}{BabylMailbox}{fp\optional{, factory}}
! Access a Babyl mailbox, which is similar to an MMDF mailbox. In
! Babyl format, each message has two sets of headers, the
! \emph{original} headers and the \emph{visible} headers. The original
! headers appear before a a line containing only \code{'*** EOOH ***'}
! (End-Of-Original-Headers) and the visible headers appear after the
! \code{EOOH} line. Babyl-compliant mail readers will show you only the
! visible headers, and \class{BabylMailbox} objects will return messages
! containing only the visible headers. You'll have to do your own
! parsing of the mailbox file to get at the original headers. Mail
! messages start with the EOOH line and end with a line containing only
! \code{'\e{}037\e{}014'}. \var{factory} is as with the
! \class{UnixMailbox} class.
