Unicode[edit]
Is this accurate? "...storing Unicode text takes three or six bytes per character." Assuming that Mork uses UTF-16 to encode Unicode, it would take either 2 or 4 bytes per character. Perhaps the format uses some funky encoding rather than UTF-16? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Remline (talk • contribs) 15:15, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
From the comments here:
...writes out Unicode strings without using UTF-8: writes out the unpacked wchar_t characters!...Worse, it hex-encodes each wchar_t with a 3-byte encoding, meaning the file size will be 3x or 6x (depending on whether whchar_t is 2 bytes or 4 bytes.)...
outdated "obsolence" section[edit]
"Mork was completely removed from Firefox in 2011. Plans existed for Mork to be replaced with MozStorage in Thunderbird 3.0., but the 8.0 release still uses the Mork file format."
- So was it completely removed or is it still used ?
- You cannot have it both ways.
- Someone with knowledge please step in and correct this.
