That would have been my mirst thought, too...

So we should have a look at the headers...

I guess that the missing boundaries are the problem. IIRC the
MIME-RFCs request a boundary. Perhaps this is a bug with Becky?
Try this one: open your UNIX mailbox file in an editor and replace the
Content-Type line with:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Try importing again...
If that doesn't help, you could post one of the offending messages
(perhaps better off-list or on TBOT, as attachments are discouraged on
this list).

The difference is small. What TB! calls MSG files are plain RFC822
messages (one message per file) while the unix mailbox format prepends
the often mentioned "From " line to each message (and some little
details more) to handle multiple message in one file.
