The From:, subject: and To: are most definitely in the message header. Here is a URL describint the mbox format: http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/mbox.html In brief general terms. Every line in an email message from the beginning of the message to the first blank like is in the header. SMTP does not process the From:, and the From: line may even be added by the MTA (eg. sendmail). If you want to know more about SMTP: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0821.txt It's quite dry. "Theo v.
