by default,
``--format=json`` sets ``--entire-thread``. The caller can
disable this behaviour by setting ``--entire-thread=false``.
+ The JSON output is always encoded as UTF-8 and any message
+ content included in the output will be charset-converted to
+ UTF-8.
**sexp**
- The output is formatted as an S-Expression (sexp). This
- format is more robust than the text format for automated
- processing. The nested structure of multipart MIME messages
- is reflected in nested S-Expression output. By default,
- S-Expression output includes all messages in a matching
- thread; that is, by default,
- ``--format=sexp`` sets ``--entire-thread``. The caller can
- disable this behaviour by setting ``--entire-thread=false``.
+ The output is formatted as the Lisp s-expression (sexp)
+ equivalent of the JSON format above. Objects are formatted
+ as property lists whose keys are keywords (symbols preceded
+ by a colon). True is formatted as ``t`` and both false and
+ null are formatted as ``nil``. As for JSON, the s-expression
+ output is always encoded as UTF-8.
**mbox**
All matching messages are output in the traditional, Unix
'>' character added. This reversible escaping is termed
"mboxrd" format and described in detail here:

**raw** (default if --part is given)
Write the raw bytes of the given MIME part of a message to
