No, that's no *headers* - The lines at the front that have "From:" and
"To:" (and "Subject:"!) on them. To give an example, this message
would be read by me as starting with:

">>>>> On Fri, 1 Feb 91 22:08:18 GMT, Kyle Jones <kyle@UUNET.UU.NET> said:"

(no headers - so it's a bit tricky working out what the message is
supposed to mean)

This is *not* profiling - that works fine, and gives me the choice
between an enigmatic anonymous file and the first line of an enigmatic
anonymous file. To read the headers, you have to type "t" (to reveal
all of them) and then go to the start of the buffer.

The only answer I can think of is that U.K. mail is recieved in CB
format, not strict RFC822. But I can't say I've noticed any distinct
difference; then again I haven't managed to Hack'n'slay through the
code in VM which filters out unwanted header lines to find out why it
thinks *all* header lines are unwanted.

Oh yes, and I can't post - we can't afford to subscribe to news. Mail
only. anyone got a mail address?
