The delimter is a line starting with "From ". Any lines containing
this particular sequence of characters at the beginning of the line
(e.g. lines in the body of the text) get a ">" prepended by KA9Q.
You can be fairly sure that a new message starts when you seen
From followed by a space. Oops, did it again, that should be From
followed by a space<g>.
