Thanks Allen, your addition does appear to work, some of the time, other
times it skips down to line to and sets the sender as a date.
I think I need a small variation, which if I was better at Applescript
syntax I would do myself that tests for the existence of a right bracket
symbol in the first non blank line.
If it doesn't find it then we set the sender as per Paul's original.
If the right angle bracket is found then we use your block of code to set
the address of sender.
Thanks again, I feel I'm getting pretty close now.
