My guess is that a majordomo mbox file uses a different message separator
from UUCP-style mbox files.

Note, if you are actually refering to a majordomo digest, then have a
look at
<http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/faq/envs.html#mdomodigests>.
Otherwise, have a look at the MSGSEP resource in the MHonArc
documentation.  If you are not sure how MSGSEP should be set, provide a
sample of, or pointer to, the file you are trying process so we can
examine it.
