It's a bug in b4 that I overlooked. Public-inbox emits mboxrd-formatted 
.mbox files, while Python's mailbox.mbox consumes mboxo only. The main 
distinction between the two is precisely that mboxrd will convert 
">From " into ">>From " in an attempt to avoid corruption during
escape/unescape (it didn't end up fixing the problem 100% and mostly 
introduced incompatibilities like this one).

I have a fix in master/stable-0.6.y and I'll release a 0.6.2 before the 
end of the week.

Thanks for the report.
