When doing the above, formail generates but one ^From_ entry, From_
foo@bar.

I have done the following: Using sed, changed the address format from
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]] (which is the way Outlook left it) to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  I
run the output of this though formail and, no matter what options I try,
it will only generate a From_ entry for the first mail message.  The
rest of the messages are unaffected.

man formail recommends formail -ds <old_mailbox >>new_mailbox.  This
does not work.

Any suggestions>
