Just be sure you are not too restrictive. It's better to split some letters that contain "From " in the body than concatenate two letters. If the first letter is long and uninteresting, the user won't even see the second. For example, you are sure the buffer has never been narrowed to contain the "From " line but not the following header line? Regards, Hallvard
