Getting "Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file" on 1.2rc2 after transferring mail 
from an ancient 0.99.13 system. The first line of the file looks ok. 
Curiously, it's one of my archival folders of this list. Here's the first 
header from the top of the file:

It would be nice if the code that verified the mailbox format would log 
details about what it disliked.
