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.

I did a cursory search of the mailman-user archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ but didn't find any reference to this bug. I suppose we should report it to them.

I've now manually patched the mobox archive with a space in front of the "From" and regenerated the archives to ensure that Sean's post is visible in full length.

It looks like the mailman/pipermail parser is somewhat broken and considers every line starting with "^From " as the beginning of a new mail (envelope-from).
