Mush by default looks for a line, after a blank line, that begins
with "From ".  If it doesn't see any such lines, then it won't find
any messages (treat everything as "garbage before the first line").

I take it from your message that there is no such line in the file.
Is there some recognizable pattern that begins each message?  You
can either use some program to add a From_ line in front of each
pattern, or you can set mush to use that pattern as the message
separator (via MSG_SEPARATOR in config.h).

Here's a little sed script that I think would work for you:

sed 's/^\(Return-Path: \)\(.*\)/From \2 Thu Aug 17 17:55:54 1989\
\1\2/' < mail.gwm > mush.gwm

Keep in mind that the date part of the From line isn't used in mush
when a Date: field exists.

This also assumes that all headers begin with Return-Path.
