I get this message:

        MBOX mailbox contains non-conforming From_ line(s)! 
        Message boundaries may have been falsely detected!
        Setting variable *mbox-rfc4155* and reopen should improve the result.
        If so, make changes permanent: "copy * SOME-FILE".  Then unset 
*mbox-rfc4155*

when I read some of my mail archives.  I reviewed rfc4155.  I think my
>From lines conform.  For instance:

        From [email protected] Sun Dec 9 10:52:33 MST 2018

        Any hints about what's wrong with it?

        I followed the instructions.  s-mailx prepended 42 (of 135
>From lines with a > , which made them part of the prior message.  For
instance, the lines from 2 consecutive messages:

        From [email protected] Fri Nov 16 10:24:25 MST 2018
        >From [email protected] Sat Dec 8 12:31:43 MST 2018

        I get it!  The day-of-month is a single digit!  I just read
the man page for ctime (the authority rfc4155 cites): it returns
unpadded day-of-month.

        J'accuse!
