You have a badly formatted mbox file, if there is such distinction
neccessary:
No. There are some variants of mbox format.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbox#Family
RFC 4155
o Each message in the mbox database MUST be immediately preceded
by a single separator line, which MUST conform to the following
syntax:
The exact character sequence of "From";
a single Space character (0x20);
the email address of the message sender (as obtained from the
message envelope or other authoritative source), conformant
with the "addr-spec" syntax from RFC 2822;
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.
"
