I just tried it on a message in my Trash directory. I appended using >>

I did not see the additional text I appended when I checked the message.  I then
opened up the file in vi. I can see the appended text, it just doesn't show up
in the mail client (imp). So I added two '^M's at the bottom, just as there
originally was. Still no luck.  I deleted the message, and it deleted normally.

hmmmm.
