I've got a problem that might be a bug, might not, but I'd like some
suggestions.

Having accounts on multiple systems is nice, but it's a pain in the
ass when you're dealing with mail.  I recently got VM 5.31 running on
both my primary systems and that was great for a while.  Then I
decided I would like all personal letters on one of the systems, so I
use a .maildelivery file (for MMDF) to forward (using a program called
resend) all mail from a certain person to the other system.

This worked fine, except I recently noticed that when I save messages
from that person to a folder, it is not saved properly.  All the text
is saved, but the Control-A's that delimit messages are not being put
in.  This results in the last message being a conglomerate of all
messages saved since I last went in and manually inserted the
Control-A's.

I'm starting by calling this a VM bug since I can do anything to the
messages when I recieve them, they just don't save correctly.

As I said, any suggestions?
