This doesn't sound like a "normal" mailbox like Eudora or most Unix 
mail clients use, where messages are separated by lines that match 
the regex /^From\s/.  If it was, you could use Mail::Util::read_mbox 
(part of MailTools) to separate the individual messages.

In a normal mail message, everything from the beginning to the first 
blank line is header, while everything after that to the end of the 
message is body.  So look for the first blank line, and everything 
after it is body.
