Uh, this may not be such a good idea. Non-MH users tend to keep old
mail around forever in their system mailboxes (urrrr) and the results
of inc aren't easily reversible, causing some anguish. (I've seen
people do this when they want to try out MH, and come yowling when
they find their mailbox in lots of tiny pieces... Good incentive for
them to stay with MH, but sometimes, they're unhappy -- fortunately,
slamming all the messages together separated by "\nFrom anonymous "`date`"\n"
restores a measure of peace)
