Formatting Messages

[David Blewett]

Thanks, Leon and Chad for pointing this program out. It worked much 
better! I was able to copy all the "good" messages fine with it.

I was able to track down the cause of the "Invalid Header" as well. For 
some reason, I have a bunch of messages with this header:
">From XXX Tue Feb 22 20: 16:15 2005"

I'm not sure where they came from; possibly an error in migrating 
between servers. Now the question is, how do I remove these? There is 
always the ">From XXX", but the date after changes.

Any ideas?

David
