  What I would like to do is save only a few lines from the header, in
  mailbox format. As an analogue, you can run 'rn' (what I'm using) with
  all header lines gone except those that you want to see, like this:

      rn -h +hfrom +hdate +hart +hlin +hfoll

  I only see 5 header lines, but the 'v'erbose command is always there if
  I need to see everything.

  I have modified several of the environment variables to my liking, but
  there doesn't appear to be an easy way to set up MBOXSAVER (or whatever)
  in a similar manner.

  Any suggestions, or am I just being dense?
