The problem is that the message in question has no 'Delivery-Date' header,
which it tries to use to re-construct the mbox-format 'From_' line. This is
a bug on archivemail's behalf -- it should be more robust about
missing headers.

I've just released a new version of archivemail (version 0.2.0) which
should fix the problem -- it uses the normal messsage 'Date' field if no
'Delivery-Date' field exists.

It is available here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/archivemail/archivemail-0.2.0.tar.gz

Let me know how it goes....
