Hi,
I'm resending this as a reply, apparrently it's some sort of
procmail thing, and it splits the message on the basis of the missing ">".

Hi,
I just got a message sent to me. It was a forward of another
message. I have procmail set up to forward mail to me, and at this
account, I got it as two messages.
On my home account, the headers and the headers of the fowarded
message look like:

I see where the > has been deleted from the 2nd from line, and I
am assuming that this is what caused the split.
The pertinant recipe (for the backup file, the forwarding is just using !)
is:
# This appends the last maxgbackup files to the fallback folder
# It prevents mail from being lost through incorrect recipes
:0Wc:$HOME/incoming/fall.lock
| cat - $BACKGFILE | formail -${maxgbackup}s > $TEMPGFILE ; \
mv -f $TEMPGFILE $BACKGFILE
