-.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 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.
