     I had no idea, so thanks for that.  I'll have to install it once I have
stable space for a ports tree again in case it also shows other good stuff.
In any case, I was pretty sure I had seen it somewhere else, and it turns

     BTW, your message showed up without a Date: header, so I used the date
and timestamp from the From line of the envelope.  Must be something weird
about your mail interface.
