please help me identify the invalid header!

I recently decided to move all of my email archives from my Mac to the cloud with my MobileMe account. However, a hundred or so various messages, mostly from 10 years ago or more, cannot be moved because of an "invalid header" error.

After much Googling, the only solution I found was to open the messages with TextEdit and delete all headers beginning with the ">" symbol. However, none of the offending messages have this symbol at the beginning of a line. They do have a lot of gobbledygook in the headers, but I cannot tell what needs deleting.


Here is an example of headers from one of the offending messages (some info replaced with xxx):


3956

I really hope someone here can take a look at let me know what the invalid header might be!


Thanks in advance.
