[comp.mail.elm] Can't read included mail messages

sandman@buit52.bu.edu (Dominick M. Galang) (01/25/91)

This has been driving me crazy and I want to know if anyone has solved
or even addres it.

Being a sys admin I end up with quite a number of messages that
include other mail messages all flush with the left margin.  In elm
(2.3 patch level 9), if I try to read this mail, I'll see only the
first message.  Succeeding included messages get swallowed up
(probably because they lack enough header info to declare it a real
message.)

If one such message comes in, newmail shows that two or more messages
came in because it sees a from: line and possibly a subject: line.

In the beginning, I would edit the mail file, indent the subsequent
messages and then call elm again.  Obviously, this isn't the solution.

Thanks for your help.
