This is probably a local delivery issue. I assume you're using procmail as your local delivery agent. If the mailbox isn't locked properly, then procmail has the chance of corrupting the mailbox. This is generally seen as one message starting with "FFrom ", and the next with "rom ". Searching out with google turns up this page - http://lib.natur.cuni.cz/komanek/webland/html/unix/procmail.html . Ignore the start (in Czech), and see the bottom parts for details.
