If I set up .forward and .maildelivery in the prescribed way,
I get the following problem:
messages get appended in files as directed in .maildelivery, but
they get appended with no "From " line and with ^A^A at the
beginning and at the end. (Of course they have a "From:" line,
but no "From " line.)
What's worse, this also happens fpr the default case, which goes
to /var/spool/mail/mdr, whether or not I explicitly state this
default in .maildelivery. inc cannot handle this; it can't
split /var/spool/mail/mdr into its constituent messages, rather
it thinks there is just one (long) message there.
Has anyone else had this problem? What to do?
