It's in fact totally useless for such mail, since I wrote it for use on
systems where the MDA always adds a From_ line.  Whenever I recommend getting
information about the timestamp of receipt from the From_ line instead of
running date(1), I always qualify the advice by saying, "if the mail arrives
with a From_ line at the top."
