| I have a .qmail-test containing this:
| |/usr/local/bin/822header > header && cat > body && exit 99
| ./file

822header reads too far.  It reads whole blocks of some specific
number of characters until it finds the end of the headers, printing
what it found.

If your example were to work, 822header would have to read the file
one byte at a time, so it could stop as soon as the header is
finished.  I think it might be useful if the program would do this, at
least optionally.
