After importing a large mbox file, I see several emails with messed up senders, all with the date/time of the import.
Investigating a couple of these, it looks like if a line of the body of an email starts with "From", it will interpret it as the start of a new email. It will use the next word on that line as the sender name. I assume because it doesn't find a date header, it inserts the current time.
I was able to reproduce it by editing the mbox file to add the word "From". It has to start with a capital F.
Looks like normally From headers start with "From:", but in this case (export from old version of Forte Agent), they don't have the semi colon. Perhaps this has triggered this behaviour.
