moving hymie's off-list question back on-list, because he points
out a flaw in my script.
indeed, the script assumes the header separator ends in a ':'. that's
a local customization that i had completely forgotten about -- as
distributed, the MH header separator is all dashes.
i have no idea why i changed it; it was so very long ago.
