In my case issue was CR LF as line ending on header lines in mails
downloaded via crawler script. I wrote simple perl script to remove
them and do some sorting using Date header of mails. Doing it manually
was not an option, that would mean editing ~ 3500 files, error prone.

Now I am reading those mails and trying to find interesting ones.
