Each message starts with a From_ line.  That's a line where the first
five(!) characters are "From ".  Note the space.

Each message ends with an empty line.  That's two consecutive newline
characters.

Usually, this means that a message must not contain a From_ line,
except at the beginning.  But Gnus has been augmented to look at
Content-Length (I think) and Lines headers so that From_ lines in the
middle are not a problem.
