I don't understand the problem.  formail's -ds option is designed
specifically for bursting digests.  If you want the digests kept intact,
don't use formail -ds.

The program that I have been using to grab the POP3 mail, popclient,
munges them into a single file, separated by the From line.  If I feed
the single file into procmail, it >'s the internal From lines, so all
the messages are glomped together.  That's why I used formail, to
split these into single messages.

I am appending an edited version of a single download, if that will
help see what I'm saying.

Thanks,
  Steve
