Yeah, I sort of figured they were the ASCII codes after the =, with the 
exception of the newline, whenever they introduce a line break.  Which could 
be helpful when writing a filter to call from procmail.  I'd prefer to find a 
different way, since my sed/sh skills are somewhat lacking compared to my 
C/C++ skills, but I'll script something if it's the easiest way.  If you've 
seen it before, maybe the script will be useful to others, so I'll share it.
