+In saving articles, $package wants to differentiate between saving to
+mailbox format files and normal files.  It does this by examining the
+first character of the file in question.  On most systems the first line
+starts with "From ...", so the first character is an F.  Other systems
+use magic cookies like control codes between articles, so one of those
+would be first.  For example, MMDF messages are separated with lines of
+four control-A's (you may specify one as ^A, i.e. caret A).

+*)  cat <<'EOM'
+
+You will need to edit the shell script mbox.saver to properly append an
+article to a mailbox.  The arguments to the script are documented in
+EOM
+	case "$shsharp" in
+	false) echo "comments in mbox.saver.std.";;
+	true) echo "comments in the shell script itself.";;
