Actually this sounds suspiciously like the mbox-Bug - in which case the bug is in the spec, not the software. Switching to Maildir might help, if it's possible.

Mailing list glitch?
I read Sean's message this morning, and was going to send a link for it to a friend who is off-list. So I went to the list's archive: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-June/048966.html As you can see, the version of Sean's message shown in the web archive has been almost entirely truncated. Has this bug been there all along?
