I just did some more playing with this. Here is the start of an mbox that
Mailman saved for my test message:

---etc---
Note that the divider (the line that has the "From " without a colon) doesn't
have a sender named in the Eudora file. I then took their file, and since
there are only about 20 messages in it, I manually replaced the ???@???
with the e-mail address of the sender of each message (as appears on the
"From: " with a colon) and now it works.
So, does anyone have a script around that will make that replacement?
Or a sketch of one? (I can't write Perl to save my life, but I can sure
edit it once a valid program exists.) (I suppose any script someone volunteered
here would be in Python, maybe I can learn to edit that too!)

Hmmm ... Just "thinking out loud" for the moment
while I continue to
think about what you have said below, it sure -sounds- like the process
of editing the Subject: line has somehow messed up the headers such
that
it now looks like the body of the message starts where the Subject
line
was ... For example, if you took out the Subject: line entirely,
the
blank line left it its place would look like a header/body separator
that would make some headers appear as part of the body, and it would
certainly look like the message now had no subject. On the other
hand,
you say "all" of the headers are displayed (do you really mean "all",
or would "most" be more precise?), and of course you are not wiping
out
the Subject line. What editor are you using? Is it doing
anything
funny or unexpected with the file when you edit/save it (hint: use
od for a byte-by-byte comparison)?
I will continue to puzzle this, and try some experiments if possible.
In the meantime, try to get an iron grip on what -- exactly -- happens
to the file when you edit it (another hint: think of your file as a
set of arbitrary bytes, and forget for the moment that the bytes mean
something to you).
