Can anyone help me with this issue? When I download my mail in Linux, the mail has a line in the header called 'X-Status:' followed by a blank line. I have found that if I get rid of this and the blank line, pine properly detects the Subject: and From: of the letter. However, if I leave it in, it doesn't. I wrote a very inefficient shell script to get rid of these lines, using a loop with grep and sed. Does anyone know a better way? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------- Max Eskin | kurtkilgor(a)bigfoot.com | AOL: kurtkilgor
