format of INBOX

[dbrett]

Hi Bob

Actually I am planning on writing a script which will read the header
delete the bogus emails (mostly used by spammers).

This raises another question.  I have copied the header into emails and
sent the message.  How was it able treat the header as message and not
another message?
