- Elm 2.3 is a bit picky, to avoid being fooled by a 'From ' line in
- the body of a message.
-
- It wants the 'From ' lines to be of the format
- 'From user-name-string date-stamp'
-
- where date stamp must be in the format ddd mmm hh:mm:dd [ttt] yy[yy]
-
- it must have either 5 or 6 fields (7 is a no no for 2.3 (two timezone
- fields such as MET DST).
