You are looking at the "From " message separator, which is not a
header and thus not part of the message itself; it is actually part
of the Unix mailbox file format.  IMHO, unrmail is doing the right
thing by separating each message with the current timestamp.

It certainly is, but I haven't had any luck yet profiling it

to find out where it's spending all that time.  It also prompts
me frequently for a safe coding system when it decides that iso-8859-1
is unsafe.
