Description of problem:
It seems that mb2md in EPEL is /not/ version 17 as the file name suggest but a /much/ older version, perhaps version 4 or so.

There have been many bug fixes since version 4 and I believe the current version is 18. The version supplied by EPEL fails to convert correctly mail messages.

Please update to the most recent version of mb2md.
