I think the From line needs a little bit more info. I ran into problems 
with a Mailman archive when I fed it to Dovecot, my IMAP server, because it 
didn't like the abbreviated From line. It thought the whole file was one 
big message. Looking at one of my mbox files, it appears that a datestamp 
is needed on the end of the line.
