Well, actually, it is in mbox format.  Pine/mutt/elm and some
other things just don't know it ;)  The "From " line that starts
each message in an mbox file is a different format to what these
programs expect.  To get the mbox back into something that pine
can read, have a look at my message about this from last month:

Hope this helps.

P.S.  Maybe this should be added to the FAQ? :)
