Some people say that it is bad netiquette to respond to one's own
posting; those who agree can ignore this posting, if you want.

After looking at the messages in question, looking at the code,
looking at the mail RFC 2822, and doing a Google search, I found
the messages that had two problems with the "Date:" line:
Date: 13-APR-1995 14:58:06.26
This line has "-" instead of white space, and the seconds field has
added hundredths of a second. Once I went through the mbox file and
corrected these, the mbox file was loaded into the archives
successfully. I had first converted the "-" to " ", but that did not
solve the problem. I had to remove the ".nn" hundredths of a second
to get the date to correspond to the RFC 2822 format.
