Summary: email normaliser chokes on Eudora mbx files

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

Message:
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.
