That reminds me of a slight annoyance with the saved
mail.  It's stored in mbox format and the parser for the
mbox files just takes any line starting with From as the
beginning of a new message.  So if it happens that you
save a message that just happens to have a line that
begins a new sentence starting with the word From, then
when when you B2 on "Mail foo" for mailbox foo, you end
up with some extra messages in the list as it splits  those
with lines starting with From.  I keep intending to do
something about it and post a patch, but my supply of
round tuits keep getting allocated to other things.  If
anyone else is messing with acme mail, that'd be a
nice one to fix.
