The fcc field delivers mail in Unix format to Unix mail files.
It is not supposed to be used with rmail files.  Instead,
output to the inbox of the rmail file.

It would be a reasonable extension to allow output direct to
an rmail file, but this cannot work properly in general
unless the message is converted to rmail format when it
is output.

Otherwise, if messages are output in rmail format after
fcc messages, the file will appear to be in valid rmail
format and the fcc messages will be effectively lost.

Anyone want to do this?
