After a little more experimentation, I have narrowed the problem down.
If there is more that one message in the collection of forw'ed messages,
and there is a blank line, but no text after the last message, then the
last message is not burst out, but ignored.

For example, if I run burst on this message, I would only get two
messages.  If the blank line at the end of the message was deleted, then
burst would properly burst the messages.  Either this is a bug in burst
that causes it to ignore the last message, or in forw putting a blank
line at the end of the collection.  Any ideas?
