Here is an example...

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.

Grey frowns at the comm board and waits for Driggz' to answer.

"Will do when we get a chance." Grey taps off and checks the other
incoming messages.

In the Unix mailbox format each message is preceeded by a "From" line.
"From MAILER-DAEMON Sun Jul 25 04:43:48 1999" denotes the beginning of the 1st
message, "From morpheus Tue Mar 16 15:26:30 1999" denotes the beginning of
the 2nd message, and so on.
What what I've read of your current program you could export into a large
file, fine the #!rmail like and replace it with a generic From line. That
should do the trick. Quick perl script would do it.
