R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:
The problem with that archive is that it is not in proper mbox format. It
contains the following line (5689):
From here I was hoping to run something like “dbus-send –system
–dest=Test.Me –print-reply /Japan Japan.Reset.Test string:”Hello””
You will note that there is no leading '>' on that line to escape that 'From '.
So mbox tries to build a 'From ' line from it, and fails because 'From ' lines
should not contain any non-ascii characters. It can be argued that that
failure is sub-optimal...it should probably be calling decode('ascii',
errors='replace') so that the parse doesn't fail, just like it would not fail
if there were no non-ascii in the unescaped 'From ' line.
