% Hello David,

Hi!  Sorry I fell out of the world for a while; we're settling in back at
home and, in that strange twist that always happens, I have *less* time
for anything on the computer when I *don't* have a job.  Somebody land me
a gig so I can read mutt-users again! ;-)

Yeah, I know; I had to muck about with threads (Thanks, Cedric! :-) to
get things lined up properly.  It was only worth it to me for mutt-users
but the script worked for about five mailing lists for me :-)

Nah; I just ate it.  The script generated valid From_ lines for me
(probably since I didn't try unmunging) which got me the posts in my
mailbox and let me thread them happily, and that was good enough for my
needs.
