Well, for some definition of "broken": just following its own rules, which
look a bit like mbox.  The 'From' line is comparible, but there is no
blank line before it.  The current parser is not flexible enough to
support this 'feature' (sorry).  Of course, it is easy to preprocess
your folders to have them accepted as mbox format:

   perl -pe 'print "\n" if /^From /' <procomail >mbox
--
