   yeah, that's one of those flaws in the documentation... some tossers put 0x01   
   and others don't so you have to watch for both... remember, too, that the   
   documentation comes from "The Conference Mail System" which was only used for a   
    few short years... the documentation has never been updated since... it even   
   talks about the old method that ARCmail used to extract newly arrived messages   
   to the netmail area and then to rescan them again to move them to their proper   
   area... this was all the real sticky stuff back in the day when echomail was   
   introduced...

   both arrived here and will be leaving on a routed trip back to you when this   
   one leaves here...
