You appear to be missing the "From abc at xyz hh:mm:ss" line (this is not its
exact format, but it's similar) that marks the beginning of a new message in
mbox format.

The "From: " header line doesn't actually delimit a message. There should be a
line that begins with "From " (no colon) ahead of the "Received: " headers in
each message.

I'd look for a problem with your mail delivery agent, which seems to be
stripping these off.
