% Yes, that hack is very simple:
% 
% man formail
% man procmail

Heh.  It's more than just that, I'm afraid.  If it isn't, then cough up
exact grammar so I can learn some magic, too.


% 
% Splitting up a single file which contains concatenated emails with no
% From_ line at all could be more of a problem. Try some formail options,

Exactly.  Go back to the beginning of the thread and see how he got this
far.  It ain't pretty.


% if none help, use a short script (or your editor) and replace each
% "From: " with a "From\nFrom: ", then run formail.

He's already done some mangling in vim, leaving himself with ^From_ lines
that quite possibly are less useful than none at all, but at least they
can be used as placeholders for something that should really go there.
