Editing the mbox file isn't the problem. From what I
gather, telling mailman to regenerate the web pages
from the mbox file causes all the messages to be given
new ID numbers, even if they remain in the same places
in the mbox.

So the web pages as well as the mbox would have to
be edited by hand, instead of using the auto regen
process.
