If you did that, it wouldn't be a UNIX mbox file. That is the format that
archive2 is supposed to store its files in. Remove that line, and you've
broken what archive2 is supposed to do.

Well, their mail delivery agent is either supposed to escape the From
lines, or add a Content-Length: header in the mail as it delivers it. If
it's doing neither, then they have something that needs fixing.

Perhaps you'd be happier using archive.pl? Archive2.pl is designed to do
exactly what you don't like. You can download the file and read it as a
folder in your favorite mailer. If you take out the message separator and
the headers, this won't work. (Well, the Received: lines are of dubious
value, but most of the others are useful.)
