   Functionality to parse the From/FromAddr/To/ToAddr/Subject from a text file.   
      
   Currently those fields must be provided with command-line switches, which   
   rules out being able to transparently generate a complete message after MakeNL   
   has exited.

   To be clear I'm not suggesting removing notifications, merely externalising   
   the code.
