Now I'm getting confused... I assumes grepmail always produces a
mbox-formatted output file.

What I use grepmail for:

  grepmail searchpattern ...a whole list of mboxes and other files...  > mbx

Then I visit mbx with a mail program to look at the messages found.
For this purpose, mbx must be a mbox-format.
This works okay, unless there are Gnus messages involved. Just
concatenating Gnus messages is pointless.
