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....)
