Are there any Content-Length lines? If so - delete them.
It's easy with vi:
$ vi ~/Mail/folder
:g/^Content-Length:$/d
:x
$ mutt -f ~/Mail/folder
Does it work now?

Tag all messages and the save them to a new file (folder).
T tag-pattern
. all ("contains at least some character")
; tag-prefix (applies following command to all tagges messages)
C copy-message
+NEW foldername "NEW"
The folder "NEW" (usually ~/Mail/NEW) should now
contain all the messages in the current order.
To change the order use 'o' ("sort-mailbox") -
before copying/saving the messages to a new folder.
have fun! :-)
