Take a look at the mbox archive in an editor.  Search for the text in
the message that isn't being archived properly and see if it doesn't
contain an unquoted From (a line that beings with "From " in the body.
If you find one, make the line read >From and try the import again.
I've had this happen to me numerous times when importing old archives.
