Sorry: in a too-quick reading, I took Wood to mean that Eudora (vs.
"standard Mbox format") needs *only* the From ???@???. But I see Wood
doesn't say "as the From_line" but "in the From_line."
Eudora doesn't seem to "live up" to the "standard Mbox format"
requirements. E.g., only a partial date is needed, and no time is needed.

AS I SAID in my post:
