Elm itself is quite clever. I forget the exact pattern, but it looks for something formatted like a "From " line - IIRC from experiments, it requires both an address with an @-sign and a correctly formatted date before it treats it as a separator in a mailbox. It's a pity that we're now stuck with a raft of lesser software which just looks for the "From ". Nick
