Why does Rmail think all my saved messages are one big message?
===============================================================

   A file created through the `FCC' field in a message is in Unix mail
format, not the format that Rmail uses (BABYL format).  Rmail will try
to convert a Unix mail file into BABYL format on input, but sometimes it
makes errors.  For guaranteed safety, you can make the `saved-messages'
file be an inbox for your Rmail file by using the function
`set-rmail-inbox-list'.
