Hi!

A strange problem has very suddenly come up on my NeXTStation.

When I use RMAIL in emacs (18.57) to read my mail, as I have 
been doing for over a year, multiple messages get incorporated
as one giant message.  

As far as I know nothing has changed (I am the only su).  To 
trace the problem I have done the following.

	o  used another account   ->  same result
	o  tried the unix mail program  ->  no problem there
	o  rebooted my system  ->  no effect
	o  started another RMAIL file ->  no effect

The problem is the same regardless of whether the mail is 
genuine or if I send it to myself.

Can someone suggest a remedy for this baffling and annoying problem?

			Thanks
