-.SS "Reassembling Messages of Type message/partial"
-.B mhstore
-is also able to reassemble messages that have been
-split into multiple messages of type \*(lqmessage/partial\*(rq.
-.PP
-When asked to store a content containing a partial message,
-.B mhstore
-will try to locate all of the portions and combine
-them accordingly. The default is to store the combined parts as
-a new message in the current folder, although this can be changed
-using formatting strings as discussed above. Thus, if someone has
-sent you a message in several parts (such as the output from
-.BR sendfiles ),
-you can easily reassemble them all into a single
-message in the following fashion:

-This will store exactly one message, containing the sum of the
-parts. It doesn't matter whether the partials are specified in
-order, since
-.B mhstore
-will sort the partials, so that they
-are combined in the correct order. But if
-.B mhstore
-can not
-locate every partial necessary to reassemble the message, it will
-not store anything.
