The following is a message from Eddie, I am going to show how to parse
it. This is also really good when you want to kill a spammer (ala
spamcop.net)
My comments are preceded by a ";", as it makes a decent delimeter that
way.
Of course, this has nothing to do with MG's or even 5-speed gearboxes
:) However, I find it useful, and who knows, you may too!
And yes, it appears that Hotmail HTML messages are broken. Not that
it suprises me.

Dereck,
What email program are you using? I'm on another list where a couple of
listers use an email program that sends their messages as attachments. If
yours is doing that, this list server will strip off the attachment, so your
messages come through as empty.
