This is an odd message from Richard, at least according to perl:
print join("\n", map ($_->[$subject_offset].' from '.$_->[$from_offset],
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
)),"\n";
yields

(Richard Maine)
It sounds like Glen and Richard, but it's unusual to see Richard's e-mail
as
the subject. I suspect a mis-paste by Glen.
I don't know why my replies to Elliot look any different than replies to
anyone else. I thought it was a "replying to google thing." I'll try

with Dialog.
