One example is when the mail is distributed through a Listserv list on BITNET. Although in an ideal world it would be best if unrecognized header lines were left untouched, they in fact are removed. The question is: what is the format of the line beyond the file name, that is what is the source of the magic numbers contained in the does my boss.

One example is when the mail is distributed through a If the mail consists of just 1 mail entry ( as probably indicated by "1/1" on the line, you can first extract the main mail body.
