This particular message has the following header field: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Arthur Alinovi <aalin...@riseup.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 (1.0) Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2022 17:55:10 -0500 After copying all of my "ignore" lines from ~/Mail/mhl.headers to ~/Mail/mhl.format, they still show up. Mr Paul Fox wonders if having the ignores lines broken up as I do will work or if they should be one long line which he says is how he has it. Thank you Arthur
