Ah, you mean the message "separator" in mbox files.  Easy:
    $msg->fromLine;

When a message is moved into an mbox folder, this line is created, otherwise
it is the one as read from the file.

This separator line usually contains info you can also get from the
Resent-lines in the header.
   my @rgs = $msg->head->resentGroups;
   print $rgs[0]->received if @rgs;

   print first { defined $_->from } @rgs;   # Resent-From line

Of course... but the Resent-Groups have a very limited set of fields
in them.  They all have their own get version, but no common 'get()'
method.  There is a common 'set()' which is especially usefull when a
message is read.

Have you seen Mail::Message::Head::ListGroup?

   my @lgs = $msg->head->listGroups;
   while(my $lg = shift @lgs)
   {   print $lg->listname .':'. $lg->address;
   }
