ah yes I wasn't referring to anything wrt. sourcehut here. I tested in
on a public-inbox instance here[1] and it worked great!

One thing that we've been discussing is the ability for `b4 am` to take
in an mbox over stdin, is there any reason why it doesn't have this
capability? That would allow us to curl sourcehut mbox's, or get mbox's
from a notmuch query. I couldn't find a way to do this.

Awesome tool!

Cheers,
Will
