Sometimes there's no such line, and sometimes the line contains >"Status: OR". I haven't seen anything else so far. The Status: line is not a "sent" header. I think the mailer, that you use to read your mailbox, puts these in to keep track of what you have seen or read. No Status: line means unread, so it puts a "N" (new) in the left column. Else, it puts whatever status code on the left. (O, R, S) Joseph Judge postmaster@ATT.COM
