Then either the From line doesn't match the pattern
mailbox.UnixMailbox._fromlinepattern or it is not followed immediately
(with no intervening lines or maybe even '\r') by a line that looks
like a message header.

If there is intervening whitespace between the "From " line and the
message headers, that may cause the spurious archived empty messages.

They shouldn't be a problem.
