If the first line of the mailbox is just the character string '*mbx*'
then what you have is a U-Washington IMAP 'mbx' format mailbox,
MOST assuredly -not- a standard Unix 'mbox' file.
Nothing but U-Wash 'c-client' equiped programs will know how to properly
grock that file.
Open it up with a c-client based client such as pine, open it thru the
imap server (which is probably U-Wash imapd), pull the messages out and
save them as a local 'mbox' file.
Or if you have the whole U-Wash imapd kit lying around on that server
there should be the 'mailutil' tool. That can be used to convert a 'mbx'
to 'mbox' mailbox.
