It's been a while since i was manually deconstructing mail, but IIRC
there's a blank line between headers and body ... and between messages.

Of course, then theres' all those pesky blank lines IN the message (2 so
far here :o) ... but each message should begin with the "From blah" line
... I /think/ that's how it would be passed into a filter straight off the
wire, since i think the point of mbox format was that it was trivial to
spit out ...
