No, I'm not feeling murderous tonight... The "bogdiness" is due to the
fact that the one-liner change to make it split mails take effect
_after_ MS is done, so ... one has to be just a little creative to
make it happen before. Once setup, one can more or less treat the
system as any other PF/MS setup.
