A quick google will reveal some useful utilities for getting recipients
(not just TOed guys) and arbitrary headers from emails, as well as some
filters to "single-line"ify headers (so you can use my grep trick above
as-is, if you really really want to).  If you're too lazy to google,
have a peek in my ~/bin directory [1] for some of my personal favorites.
(A few of the scripts in my Mutt config file directory [2] illustrate
the usage of most of them, if you can't figure it out yourself easily.
If that fails too, just ask me.)

Enjoy,
 - Dave

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
