Right.

No, that's the case with the version of mail-do-fcc that comes with emacs,
but the version I posted fixes that.  It *does* work if the file is being
visited; it does the appropriate voodoo to get rmail/vm to notice that a
new message has been appended.

Does RMAIL actually have the bug that a message in From_ format cannot appear
before a message in BABYL format in a message?  I didn't think it did.
