You have a badly formatted mbox file, if there is such distinction 
neccessary:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man5/mbox.5.html

" In  order  to  avoid misinterpretation of lines in message bodies which
   begin with the four characters "From", followed by a  space  character,
   the  mail  delivery  agent  must quote any occurrence of "From " at the
   start of a body line.
"

also look at the example of the From-line with date, your date is not 
RFC822. However, the date-format varies. Therefore, the start token of a 
(next) message in mbox are the five characters "From " at the start of a 
line.
