What is readmsg?

A (standard?) *nix program to extract messages from an mbox file. "readmsg foobox 5" will give you message number 5 from the file foobox.

I also tried opening the mbox with "mail -f foobox", and that worked just fine - I could browse around and read messages without problems.

Is this space actually present?

No. I have attached the same file as a binary compressed archive to this message. I hope it doesn't get mangled along the way.

A quick guess at what may solve your problem is that you may
need to modify the MHonArc's MSGSEP resource since the mbox
file you imported may have a different format for the message
separator.

I will try that.

 And from what I see above the "Lars Jorgensen"
is probably the problem.

Because of the quotation marks? I tried to remove them from both messages (the same that are attached here), but it still didn't work.

lib/common.mrc.in.dist defines a stricter MSGSEP resource than
MHonArc's default (which is very lenient).  The value used by mharc
will not match the message separate you have provided (assuming the
the leading space above is a bogus character add during transport
and is really not present in your data).

I'll try and look into that. Thank you for your time!
