Trying to get my wife's emails out of a proprietary format and into mbox for use on our local box. Doing some major file munging. In a test email the following doesn't work. (forgetting dates, email addresses, etc.)

This is just me munging files and trying them in Pine.
Any idea why the first doesn't work and the second does?

Thanks to both of you guys. That's exactly what was going on. You learn something everyday. Now I know what makes mbox mbox, I guess. A set number of characters on that line in the date portion. Now I know what I need to do, hopefully, to get those files of my wife's working. Thanks.
