A small problem with Michael Cohen <ucscc!psych36 at Berkeley>'s "awk"
script to clean up message headers is that lines beginning with ">From"
(which his script deletes) are not necessarily header lines.  In par-
ticular, several mail systems "out there" evidently prepend a ">" to
any line in the BODY of an incoming message which begins with "From"
(maybe only if the preceding line is blank, I'm not sure).
