It's actually pretty easy to add missing header information into the 
header file.  Just back it up and then edit it copying a header of 
someone who has missing email headers and insert them.  For instance for 
Ravi you would find one of his message headers, copy both lines and then 
insert them 6 times.  What you really need is the section that generates 
the report broken out so you can test if it works or not.  It would just 
parse the header file and write the report without downloading any new 
headers nor emailing it out.

Technically running the script should not mess up the count.  However 
given we get error messages like these from Yahoo when they "supposedly" 
can't deliver and email doesn't give us much confidence in their software:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at m10.grp.re1.yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com>:
ylock initialization failure:  You may need "yinst start ylock_kern" to load 
kernel module.
Abort trap (core dumped)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

-- It reads like some manager scolded the programmer for making the error 
message too terse so the programmer wrote a goofy one.  Or the programmer is 16 
years old.  :-D
