There isn't an mbox standard, so it may or may not be valid. I've made
Dovecot be pretty strict about what the From lines may look like.

What generated this line? Although it gives this error at the beginning
of file, if it happens elsewhere in the mbox file no errors are given,
and instead the mail becomes part of the previous mail.
