PS: I just noticed that I've previously replied directly to you, Mark, instead of the list (pressing "Reply" instead of "Reply list" in my email program). Sorry about that. This one should reach the list.

Thanks. Unfortunately cleanarch'ing didn't solve my issue.
I did some more research and found out that the MBOX format isn't standardized as there are 4 different variations around (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html). Confusing indeed. What's even stranger is that the Majordomo search-interface displays all of those same MBOXes without any issues.

Investigating the MBOX files in a text editor I found the problematic ones to have headers starting with ">From " (without the quotes) which the working ones didn't, so I removed all those lines from a couple of MBOX files, imported into the Mailman archives and all looked fine! Obviously I can't check every single posting, so does my discovery and solution sound feasible?
