Something like

SUBJECT=`< $TMP sed -n '1,/^$/p' | grep '^Subject:' | head -1`

would probably work just as well. Otherwise "getfield" is available from
the PRG archive here, by sending a command of

	send prog getfield.shar

to <archive-server@prg.oxford.ac.uk>. I am happy for this (or any other
PRG archive server software to be installed on the archive server at
"rice.edu". A command of "index prog" lists all the programs and "help"
give info on using the archive server.

Thanks for your interest.
