I am having a problem with Mush.  I am trying to modify the mbox.saver
shell script from rn to drop the "Article %a of %C" line, and the leading
"Path:" line as well.  I want to do this because I have the following 
line in my .mushrc:

	set hdr_format = "%25n %-3N %M (%3l) %28s"

The problem comes up because if I am reading a news mail folder, the 
from_ line contains the UUCP bang path, and not the senders real address
and name.  So, as I said, I tried modifying mbox.saver.  Now, I drop the 
offending lines, and use as the first line of the message the second
line of the actual article, as it is in %A (rn notation, /usr/spool/news/...
in my case), changing the from: to a from_ (i.e., "From ").  Nonetheless,
Mush is not recognizing this line.  Why not?  Does Mush require the 
MSG_SEPARATOR line to contain something other than simply a leading from_?
I compiled Mush with no changes to MSG_SEPARATOR (i.e., left it undefined).

Help?...
