"""
Start at the Eudora specific pattern "^From ???@???" and keep gathering
all headers. When an empty line is found, emit the headers.
Replace ???@??? with the e-mail address in "From: " (if found), or else
use "Sender: " or else "Return-Path: " or else use the magic address
"*****@*****.**" for later analysis (easily greppable).
Also add a "Date: " if missing (mostly for outbound mail sent by
yourself) which is extracted from the Eudora "From ???@??? ..." line,
but is reformatted, because Eudora has the order in the datum items
wrong.
Eudora uses:
dayname-abbr monthname-abbr monthnumber-nn time-hh:mm:ss
year-yyyy
whereas it should be:
dayname-abbr monthnumber-nn monthname-abbr year-yyyy
time-hh:mm:ss
Example:
Thu 03 Jan 2002 11:42:42 (24 characters)
