Doc,
I've had similar problems with OSX Eudora. It ate huge portions of my e-mail account, wiping out months at a time, or being more annoying and wiping out forward/reply information. Really a tremendous pain.
One thing I did was turn on "old style table of contents (TOC)" which I think creates a second file called like IN.TOC (helps in rebuilds, I think).
Second thing was a program called a "Better Type of Finder Creator"--shoot, it's not on this machine so I don't have the exact name. It's on most OSX sites. It let me get into those large text files (like you have) and change the finder creator codes to the Eudora settings (thus allowing those long text files to open as Eudora files).
A third solution could be an import into the Mail application from the large text file, and then an reimport back into Eudora. You'll lose "status" information like reply and whatnot, but there is a program called ... hmmm... Eudora Mailbox Cleaner or something like that (sorry for the lack of knowledge on these program names, I'm on the laptop with only limited applications so I can't double check).
Good luck.
