It's also why I tried Becky in the first place. After Stefan
promised me DBCS support in v2, I registered without hesitation. I
like it so much better than Becky, though I do consider Becky a
respectable program with quite some innovative and useful features.

Same here.

Sorry for not making it clearer. To generate a .msg (or .eml) file,
you don't "export" it in Becky as one does in TB. Instead, you
"save" the message. Also, a .msg file is by definition a single
message file, so you can't put 3 messages in one .msg file. The
difference between a .msg file and a single message in a unix
mailbox file is the starting "From" line which marks the start of a
message in the latter.

Since you mentioned TB's lack of CJK/DBCS support, wouldn't those
messages happen to be in one of those languages? If so, it might be
TB simply "snaps" on some special character. Someone ran into this
about a month or so ago, where high 8-bit characters in the "From"
line caused TB to generate wrong headers. It has since been fixed.
So you may want to send the problematic headers to RIT for further
testings.
