Hello perl at FreeBSD.org,

I'm forwarding this issue to you as MAINTAINER of ports/mail/p5-Email-Outlook-Message

The resulting mbox file has an issue causing mutt not wanting to present
the mail. Details see below. The maintainer of mutt
("Kevin J. McCarthy" <kevin at 8t8.us>, Cc'ed) replied to me that he believes
the converter is faulting.

Should I file a PR?

Thanks

	matthias

PS: Kevin, resent again due to required subscription in perl@

I should have been looking better myself :-(
we have mail/p5-Email-Outlook-Message and with this one can do:

$ msgconvert --mbox siadmin-error-pg.mbox siadmin-error-pg.msg

The resulting mbox file has a first line like:

   From "Apitz,Matthias" <matthias.apitz at foo.org>  Wed Feb  5 07:57:08 2020

but after repairing it with vim to:

   From matthias.apitz at foo.org  Wed Feb  5 07:57:08 2020

mutt is willing to open the mbox fine.
