I have no idea how you saved the junio.mail file.  "git am"
knows how to grok e-mails in mbox and maildir formats.

git-apply does not have anything to do with any of this.  You
are looking for "git am".

"git-am" does not currently pay attention to the "-- >8 --"
marker, either.  It is there primarily so that you can do the
interactive "git am -i" so that you know up to which point you
would want to remove with its [e]dit subcommand.
