Actually, if there is a triangle next to the message number, then it's
NeXTMail.  If there is no triangle and you do the above (triple click
on a line), then it's non-NeXTMail, but it was sent from the NeXT
Mail.app program.  If there's no triangle and the triple-click only
selects a line, then it's non-NeXTMail sent from a mail-program other
than Mail.app.
