Like in this message from you ... even though you quoted Ken's message in
its entirety. Likely to be the same in this message from me, and in most
other e-mail that doesn't contain attachments, or HTML noise.
ls -l B H; wc -l B H
-rw-r--r-- 1 kre wheel 1031 Apr 3 07:19 B
-rw-r--r-- 1 kre wheel 3484 Apr 3 07:19 H
27 B
67 H
B is the body, H the header (I omitted the separator newline char,
and also the total line from wc (you can add 27+67 yourself, then add
one more for that separator between header and body).
But it would be good if at least in this community, we could get the
terminology correct, e-mail messages have a header (just one) and
usually have a body (also just one, but this one is optional). The
header contains fields (From To (etc) and all of the junk).
