I found one email in the spool just now where a LinkedIn email 
doesn't start with a "From " line.  One of the post-inc emails that 
was concatenated also had trailing LinkedIn content.  The other
concatenated emails were not related to LinkedIn.

It's starting to look coincidental, as opposed to causal, with my
nmh upgrade.

Thanks....
