Thunderbird currently uses "Mork" [1] as db storage for its emails.
Some consider Mork to be the most braindead file format ever conceived.
There are plans to replace Mork with something more sane [2], yet I'm
using TB 2.0 beta2 and it still uses Mork, so I'm not sure if this
will happen for the final 2.0 release.

Cheers,
Michael
