A minor correction to Frank's description: Babyl's UnDigestify command
assumes that the encapsulated messages are separated by a blank line
followed by a line of 27-33 dashes.  The reason for the blank line is to
allow one of the most common in-text use of dash sequences, which is to
underline portions of the text.
---------

Note that this underlining usage is one example of a situation where the user
would indeed object to the mail system changing the exact number of dashes
or inserting spaces or other characters in front of the dashes.

I have to agree that the most important thing is to have the fact of
encapsulation noted somewhere in the message, like in the header.  If the
sender can communicate the encapsulation method to the recipient, the
actual method used is less of an issue.  It should be up to the sender to
decide whether to make the EB unique by varying the EB or munging the
messages.
