I think in the cycle we merged Couder's trailer stuff we updated the
helper functions to locate where the S-o-b should go in an existing
message and consolidated (or, at least "talked about consolidating")
them into a single helper.  I do not think we wrote any special case
for "a line with three-dashes and nothing else on it" when we did
so, but that function would be the logical place to do so.
