If you are good at perl, you might check the scripts for header
parsing. On a message that does not contain an "approved:" header line,
the message is supposed to begin "after" the first blank line. The unix
version of text files contain only a line feed at the end of every line,
where dos/windows (maybe OS/2) will expect an additional character of
carrige return. If your temp file has a blank line with just a line
feed character between the headers and the body, the OS may be supposing
the next character to be the carrige return and ignoring it.
I am not enough of a programmer or perl guru to answer your question,
and have replied to you via the majordomo-users list for others to
possibly benefit from your question, or even provide help where I can't.
