Script to read through unix mbox

I have a user that has a 4G mailbox file, which cannot be read anymore. I would like to break that into lots of smaller files for him to read, after maybe 100 emails. Each new mail starts with a From line.

How can I read through this file, count 100 emails and then cat those to another file to be opened.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
