We are experiencing strange behavior with RMAIL.  Messages in
large files (folders) appear to be truncated, and new messages
are inserted in strange places on occasion.  Once, a large
number of NULLS were inserted into the folder, where the rest of
the message should have been. Talk about junk mail!  Usually, I
bring in new messages into a new RMAIL buffer, and then ship
them out to other folders using the 'o' command.

I'm not a lisp hacker, so any insight would be appreciated.
