I don't want to spit a full-blown yacc-style parser for a poor mail-parser... The __END__ token is perlish enough to be accepted.

If there's a program that does format a mail (or even send it), no need to squeeze the __END__ token for simplicity reasons... > I think your script is a good start, and I think I will use it or > something like it at the next match.
