An MBOX file actually is a text file. All you'd have to do in OS X would be
to add .txt extension to it (better - view the .mbox extension and remove it
first, but it really doesn't matter.)
You can just select the mbox file, or several, and run this script on it:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with theFile in (get the selection)
set theFile's file type to "TEXT"
set theFile's creator type to "ttxt"
set theName to name of theFile
if theName ends with ".mbox" then
set name of theFile to text 1 thru -6 of theName & ".txt"
end if
end repeat
end tell

Allen will tell you what was edited. there's no way to remove an edited
icon, not even by AppleScript. It's proof irremovable that someone tampered
with your message!
