Turns out that an early version of the mailer was using a tab between the sender and the timestamp. This was later changed to two spaces, then one space. However, the mbox format apparently doesn't care, it just wants whitespace: http://www.umanitoba.ca/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=mbox Once changed, gnus found all the articles. Maybe this should be addressed in rmail.el, also?
