Kyle> 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 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.
