regenerating a 'from ' line with a proper datestamp

1996-08-21 04:34:51

Hello all.... I might be asking for the impossible or the highly  
unlikely, but please offer any suggestions if you can.

I've got a digest off an archive.  The whole thing is one big file  
with 2500+ messages in it.

I was able to make it into a usable mailbox format using formail,  
BUT the 'from ' line was created with a datestamp of today.  This  
makes it look like all the messages were from today, which isn't  
right.

The "Date:" line is still there, and still proper.  Is there any  
(automatica) way to make a new 'from ' line with a datestamp that  
matches the 'Date: ' line of the same message?

Thanks
TjL
