I can confirm, that after testing from the latest git, the mbox-es get
totally destroyed basically. Messages appear to have 0 bytes in mutt,
as they are distorted. And they are not moved, due to the malformed
address.

The malformed address check shall be first, then the message should be
removed. I guess it is so. You may confirm it.

On the other hand, I am thinking, maybe the messages are not cut
correctly? Then the second message and all the subsequent could not be
recognized as such. Just an idea, not that I looked into the code (or
that I could).
