Very nice. I find it simple and good. I would like to have the header fields rather aligned to left side. When using grep, I think `grep -m1' should be used to find the first match, as I wonder what would be the result if words like "From:" or "Date: " are found in the body of the email, not only in the header. I also think I can convert your script to use Asciidoctor instead of groff, https://asciidoctor.org/ -- so I will work on it. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
