<h2>Description</h2>

<p>MSGSEP defines the Perl regular expression that represents the
message separator for mailbox files.  </p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->
<hr>
<h2>Default Setting</h2>

<pre>
^From 
</pre>

<p><strong>Note</strong>: There is a space character after
"<code>From</code>".
</p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->

<h2>Resource Variables</h2>

<p>N/A
</p>

<!-- *************************************************************** -->
<hr>
<h2>Examples</h2>

<p>Some MTAs do not escape lines that start with "<tt>From </tt>".
This will cause <em>MHonArc</em> to split a message into separate
messages since it will treat the line as a message separator
(if <em>MHonArc</em> is processing a mailbox file).  One
way to help avoid this problem is to set the MSGSEP resource to
a more specific regular expression.  For example:
</p>

<pre>
<b>&lt;MSGSEP></b>
^From \S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\s+\d+
<b>&lt;/MSGSEP></b>
</pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre>
<b>&lt;MSGSEP></b>
^From\s+(?:"[^"]+"@\S+|\S+)\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+\d+\s+\d+:\d+:\d+\s+\d+
<b>&lt;/MSGSEP></b>
</pre>

<p>The second version deals with some systems that have quoted
local parts in the address listed in the separator.
</p>

<p>It is still possible to get bogus splitting if a message
contains a line that matches the regexp.
Therefore, you may
want to activate the <a href="conlen.html">CONLEN</a> resource,
if applicable.
