Use your favorite text editor.  But if the mbox contains many messages,
you need to first figure out where the corruption is.  Divide and
conquer: use a text editor to split the mbox in two, at a message
boundary (a line that begins "From ..."), and see which half is
corrupted; repeat.

Good luck,

When all is said and told, the "naturalness" with which we use our
native tongues boils down to the ease with which we can use them for
making statements the nonsense of which is not obvious. -- E.W.Dijkstra
