Don't understand. Oh, yes, maybe I do. There are other lines that
have _[89abcdef] in them. Didn't think of that first time around.
Just repeat the whole test 8 times for lines that begin with
X-Mozilla-Status: 3 hex digits 89abcdef. And replace the individual
characters with 01234567.

Slightly messy, but can be constructed without too much editor
flapping. I think I could write it in fewer lines with gawk, but
won't try.
