I believe that is a bug in emacs.  Here is an excerpt from the info pages for
the FAQ.

Why does RMAIL think all my saved messages are one big message?
===============================================================

        There is a bug for FCC-ed messages in Emacs 18.58 where it adds
a timezone on the "From " line after the year instead of before the
year.  (Before it didn't add the timezone at all.)  This is
incompatible with the standard format for the "From " line, and RMAIL
in particular can no longer distinguish between the messages.  Karl
Berry <karl@cs.umb.edu>, Felix Lee <flee@cs.psu.edu>, Nick Gianniotis
<nico@japan.sbi.com> and many others have all posted patches for this. 
Karl's is the simplest and just stops Emacs from adding the timezone:
