Well, this looks at *all* lines which contain "From".
It should be "^From: ", though.
And even this does not skip "included non-quoted mails".

So - could somebody give a better script?  PERL, anyone?
I'd promise the best script a postcard from Berlin.
How about one of the "wrapped Reichstag"?

I intend to add these scripts the "ELM Pages" (see sig)
so that I can point people to it when the question arises yet again.
