Mailfs Bugs/Patches

Hi,

With the current mailfs implementation, I ran into some problems:

1.) By definition (see e.g. http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html),
     in a Berkeley MBox File,the beginning of a message is marked by a line
     starting with "From " (_exactly_ like this)
     at the beginning of the file or after an empty line.
     So the regex "/^from\s+\w+(\.\w+)*@/i" currently used is just wrong, because
     - any other capitalization of "from" does _not_ introduce a new message
     - anything else following afterwards is optional
2.) malformed date headers currently will produce a warning

Regards,
                              Peter
