Space, not colon, after that From.  The "From:" (with colon) may appear
anywhere in the headers (and almost always appears *after* the Received:
headers needed to chase spam).  But since \nFrom may appear in messages,
using formail (part of the free procmail package) to get the headers
will likely do the best job.

(In non-UNIX-mbox-format mailboxes, you may need to replace the method
of finding start of message headers, whether using perl or not.  However,
many non-UNIX systems/clients also adopt this format.)

Cheers,
Stan
