On the subject, a while back I was playing with my .forward file, and
found that gnus would properly handle mails split by `^From ...' instead
of the more standard `\n\nFrom ...' (I found this out by munging things
until I found a way to echo a bare `\n' onto the end of each mail :/ )
Has the code changed since?
