The problem is the "From: ..." is the message separator. MHonArc
does not do anything with the message separator except for determining
message boundaries.
In practice, you should not use an actual message header field as a
separator. When you concatenate the mail messages, include a custom
separator between each message and set MSGSEP accordingly. Or, dump
the each message into a separate file in a special directory, and use
MHPATTERN instead.
