Hmm.  Applying "od -c" to the copy of that message that's in my
PG list folder shows clearly that there's no \r in it, nor do
I see any when I save off the attachment.  I suppose this must
be an artifact of the way that your MUA treats text attachments;
or maybe the mail got mangled on its way to you.

  1. psql: initialize comment-begin setting to a useful value by default.

  2. psql: treat "--" comments between queries as separate history entries.

  3. psql: include intra-query "--" comments in what's sent to the server.
