I was recently putting together a digest from an old mail file wherein none of the messages had "From:" or "Date:" headers lines but all had "From " lines. I ended up temporarily hacking VM's digest code not to nuke the "From " line. What I'd really like to see is VM extracting the information from the "From " line and putting it on some other headers, say "X-VM-From_-From:" and "X-VM-From_-Date:", and using these headers if "From:" and "Date:" were missing. Also, the information in the "From " line can be valuable even when there are "From:" and "Date:" headers. Comments? -- Joe Wells <jbw@cs.bu.edu>
