Since messages may contain other messages (including "From " lines), this

single-message-per-file (e.g., mh) storage, keeping an external index
of stored messages (e.g., Eudora), or using "From " lines as
the delimiter in conjunction with at least one of (1) escaping "From "
lines within the message as ">From " or (2) adding a Content-Length:
or Lines: header.
IIRC, MIME adds explicit message delimiters, ^A^A^A^A before and after
each message:
^A^A^A^A
From nobody_important(_at_)who(_dot_)cares(_dot_)com
...
blahblahblah
last-line-of-message
^A^A^A^A
^A^A^A^A
From billg(_at_)microsopht(_dot_)com
...
end-of-message
^A^A^A^A
