Thanks, Leon and Chad for pointing this program out. It worked much
better! I was able to copy all the "good" messages fine with it.
I was able to track down the cause of the "Invalid Header" as well. For
some reason, I have a bunch of messages with this header:
">From XXX Tue Feb 22 20: 16:15 2005"
I'm not sure where they came from; possibly an error in migrating
between servers. Now the question is, how do I remove these? There is
always the ">From XXX", but the date after changes.
Any ideas?

Subject: Formatting Messages
I've tested out several different IMAP servers in the last few years
(Courier, DBMail, now Cyrus). All my personal mail is currently in
DBMail, and I'm trying to migrate it to Cyrus. I've got archives of a
few mailing lists that run to the thousands of messages. Interspersed
throughout these are random messages that apparently have "bare
newlines" or "invalid headers". When trying to move the entire
folder, I'll get these often reported errors.
Is there a way to move the messages that do not have malformed
headers, and leave the rest? I want to move as much as I can to
Cyrus, but I really don't want to have to try each message seperately.
Alternatively, is there a tool to repair the messages with errors?
I've tried having 2 IMAP accounts in Thunderbird, and moving from one
to the other. I've tried mailutil, offlineimap, and mbsync with no
luck. Any tips would be appreciated!
David
