Communicator uses the same format as pine for mailboxes. At least, it does  
on my system, a i686-pc-linux-gnu according to a config.guess I found
lying around somewhere.

Eg. I can do pine -f ~/nsmail/Sent, and read the (few) messages I sent
from Communicator. 

I think it's the native mailbox format for my system.
