Which mail system are you using?  There is the V7 mail format that
has "From " as the first line in the message header; the header and
body is plain text.  There is also MMDF which inserts four CTRL-A's
before and after each message, and there is MH in which each message
is a file, and the folder is a directory (this makes the most sense,
and is more in line with the UNIX philosophy, IMHO.)

The status of the message is determined by the 'Status:' line in
the message header.
