rmail loops infinitely when mail in /usr/mail/user contains "^from ".
Presumably a search in rmail-convert-to-babyl-format is case
insensitive when it should be case sensitive.  I "fixed" the problem
with the patch below, but would invite any emacs wizard to point out
the correct way of handling this, as I imagine I broke something else
in the process...  :-(
