This is a FAQ.

"Content-Length" is the answer.

See "Content-Length". If you're not using content length folders
(i.e. Linux) then VM will attempt to parse what it can out of the
file. Sometimes this results in one big message. Sometimes
not. You should find the messages break on the word "From" at the
start of a line following a blank line.

See "Content-Length".

Usually this happens when you've retrieved messages with POP, since
POP doesn't generally transmit the envelope line.
