Well, that statement was not fully correct also. Evolution imports and displays the messages but also chokes on the strange From lines. Ok, taking an example message, it looks like this (obfuscated). From joe at example.com Wed Mar 23 11:51:54 2011 From: joe at example.com (Joe Example) Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:51:54 +0000 So there are two from lines which is not correct and I guess Mutt chokes on this. So maybe this report should be cloned to the following. 1. mutt: Print a message when an mbox file has errors. 2. mailman: create correct archive mbox files and do not mangle messages What do you think? Thanks, Paul
