Header parsing in mbox files generated by Eudora mail generates a string index out of range error.

    The eudora emails were being detected as trim mailboxes. The mbox guesser has been modified to better guess Eudora emails are mbox files, except Eudora stores attachments in a horrible way, they strip the attachment, store in a separate folder and add a mail header to the _END_ of the email msg, after the msg body, this breaks the mbox standard.
    The header also contains the full path (c:\<path>) to the attachment, which also makes it very hard to determine the actual attachment when given to us on a media device.

    So at this time only Eudora without attachments is supported.

    This still means Eudora isn't fully supported, one of our users are still having index issues so will now actually close this bug yet.
