I don't fully understand. I guess you mean a separator line like 
--===============0514903022==--
?

Did the first message have something like
  Content-type: multipart/mixed;
    boundary="===============0514903022=="
in the header (if you look at the message with View->View Source)?

If the message was a plain text message (Content-type: text/plain) then 
it does not need any separators.

Hmm. Did you try Anne's suggestion to delete the index files? Did this 
not help?
