Patches: parseOvpn.2.py

#! /usr/bin/python
#
# This script parses MBOX files and generates entries suitable for inclusion 
# here:
#
# <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Patches>
#
# If you're using Mozilla Thunderbird you need ImportExportTools plugin to 
# export your emails as MBOX.
#
# You can parse an MBOX file like this:
#
# cat file.mbox|./parseOvpn.py
#
# This will produce Trac-compatible output, which you simply copy and paste to 
# the above page.
