	That covers spam filtering as well as mailing lists.  I can
send you the mutt macros I use if you like, but that was outside the
scope of the tutorial.

	That may give you double.  I think you want "grep -c '^From '
to rule out "From:".  Proper MTAs/MDAs will add a > in front of
in-message "^From" stuff.  I will now hit return twice and type "From
drom brom"

>From drom brom

	Like that.
