So there you go.  Oh, and I have a version where I throw in a -c
option to unfold the headers for grepping, etc.

 alias headers 'formail -I =::::::::::::::::::::::= -X "" -20 -s < \!:1'

alias headers 'formail -I =::::::::::::::::::::::= -X "" -20 \!:2* -s < 
\!:1'

headers -c mailbox

Excellent!  Dankeschoen, Volker.

(But the syntax would be "headers mailbox -c".) ;->

Now, what could I possibly do to make this work when piping to it, too?
As in

  zcat mailbox.gz | headers


        I didn't try but, instead of the file name (\!:$) use cat:

        alias headers 'cat - | formail ..... -s'

        In some shelles the following will work:

        alias headers 'cat \!:$ | formail ..... -s'


dosmoething | headers
