Sounds like she has a broken LDA. (Note that each mbox message starts with
a "From " line and ends with a blank line; the Local Delivery Agent
should have properly escaped the "From " lines -- and it should have
been only one single message.)

If you already have access to the user's mailbox is the same format
(mbox), then simply copy it over and append the whole file to the new
mailbox.

Or use procmail's formail tool; it can be used to split up the mbox file
and resend each email.
