I am trying to use slocal only (i.e. not mh) to separate my incoming mail
before I read it.  Some mail will go to special files but the rest is to
be delivered as usual.

The "bug" is that when slocal delivers mail to the regular mailbox, it
fails to add the extra newline character that is needed in order for
the string "\n\nFrom" to be recognized to separate individual messages.

I am in desparate need to get something to work and I really don't have
the time to wait for a bug to be fixed.  I am also kind of shocked that
a bug of this kind can get out.  Perhaps there is some magical incantation
I just don't know because I don't use mh.

E-mail replies are OK because I am not applying this to this particular
system (yet).
