A .mbox is not quite the concatenation of the individual messages. I have attached an excerpt of a .mbox file with two messages. The key is that the first line of each message is a 'From_' separator that looks like 'From email@address date' It begins literally with 'From ' and no other lines in the mbox begin with these 5 characters - this is why you sometimes see lines in the body of an email that begin 'From ' escaped by inserting '>' as in '>From '. For the purposes of bin/arch, the actual contents after the leading 'From ' are not important, but in general, there should be an email address representing the envelope sender of the message and a date in the format of the example.
