Noted, but if you were writing a script to do such things, it is easy
enough in Perl to suck in the -bp output one message at a time, because
they are delimited by blank lines and Perl can be made to operate in
"paragraph mode". That way, you preserve the \n characters, which could
be useful delimiters.
