I use mutt, and store all my mail folders in maildir format.
However, I don't use mbox_type=Maildir - I simply create new maildir
folders via the CLI when I need a new one.  Mutt automatically
recognises the directories as being in maildir format and uses it.
Hence when I tag a thread and ;s to save all the tagged mail, it
creates a mbox file as that is the default.

That probably doesn't help you, though. However, IIRC, you can get
the same result regardless of your mbox_type by piping all the
tagged mail through formail and redirecting that to a file like so:

	;| formail -ds > $file

and that will result in $file being a mbox format file with all the
tagged mail in it...

Cheers,

Dave.
