I've had squish split up a big email I have gotten on more than one occasion. 
Iirc from when I ran pktsort it did this as well.
My old way of doing it was to run gus on anything in an inbound where echomail 
was permitted, then run pktsort on the resulting packets.  NOw technique is the 
same, but I do it with pktdate to make sure that my robot doesn't send any y2k 
problems upstream.
