No, because wrapped messages are of "Content-Type: message/rfc822". If
your wrap multiple messages, all are contained in "Content-Type:
multipart/digest", so they are easily distinguishable from other
attachments.
Also doing it that way has the benefit of not modifying the original
mails headers, which will happen if you remail/redirect them.
