>Description:
Since the /etc/magic "image" file sees "BA" and says "bitmap array"
and GNU Emacs RMAIL mailbox start with "BABYL OPTION" they are
mis-identified.
>How-To-Repeat:
run "file ~/RMAIL"
>Fix:
Add this to one of the files under /usr/src/usr.bin/file/magdir
that alphabetically sorts before the filename "image"
