If I recall correctly, you can remove that line entirely. Lines beginning
with "From <datestring>" are used as the message delimiter in mbox format.
A real From header would be "From: xxx" (note the colon).
Cyrus doesn't need that header to separate messages since it has one file
per message. For the record, that is also why Pine always inserts a ">"
in front of any lines beginning with "From " in the message body as well.

Thanks, Leon and Chad for pointing this program out. It worked much better! I
was able to copy all the "good" messages fine with it.
I was able to track down the cause of the "Invalid Header" as well. For some
reason, I have a bunch of messages with this header:
">From XXX Tue Feb 22 20: 16:15 2005"
I'm not sure where they came from; possibly an error in migrating between
servers. Now the question is, how do I remove these? There is always the
">From XXX", but the date after changes.
Any ideas?

Here is an example of the syntax:
imapsync --host1 198.74.48.3 --user1 username1 --password1 secret1 --host2

Subject: Formatting Messages
I've tested out several different IMAP servers in the last few years
(Courier, DBMail, now Cyrus). All my personal mail is currently in DBMail,
and I'm trying to migrate it to Cyrus. I've got archives of a few mailing
lists that run to the thousands of messages. Interspersed throughout these
are random messages that apparently have "bare newlines" or "invalid
headers". When trying to move the entire folder, I'll get these often
reported errors.
Is there a way to move the messages that do not have malformed headers, and
leave the rest? I want to move as much as I can to Cyrus, but I really
don't want to have to try each message seperately.
Alternatively, is there a tool to repair the messages with errors?
I've tried having 2 IMAP accounts in Thunderbird, and moving from one to
the other. I've tried mailutil, offlineimap, and mbsync with no luck. Any
tips would be appreciated!
David
