GNU Emacs 18.55.121on NeXT 1.0.1 I sent an RMAIL (Babyl) file at the end of a mail message. When RMAIL read it in, it re-parsed the message separators as indicating individual messages. This might be useful in some cases, but it does seem surprising and non-uniform behavior. After all, `From' gets quoted properly. Shouldn't RMAIL quote incoming mail so that it doesn't get confused by it? (Of course, the problem with that is that if the recipient tries to write this out and then read it back as an RMAIL file, it won't work. I guess this just shows the dangers of using in-text sentinels rather than counts or offsets....) -s
