Sorry Chris, I believe you're confusing MTA with MDA/LDA, although
that's not really relevent. Could you perhaps alter your python script
as David suggested but start over with new mboxes; i.e. move the current
mboxes into an archive folder inside the ~/Mail directory so as to avoid
the confusion with how your messages are currently laid-out in the mbox
file. Do you think that might help?
