Could you show me an excerpt from a mailbox that contains two mails,
including these "#! rmail" lines?  I might then add detection to
bogoreader. (might actually be no more than a UUCP mail batch).

b) won't have anything to discard with MH and Maildir, so that should
not be it.

I'd rather not call the format "mailbox" anyways.
