Here it is... from SLMR.DOC:

    Reply Header Information File
    -----------------------------
    Whenever SLMR  calls your  editor to  edit a  reply, it  creates a file
    called  HEADER.DAT  in  its work  directory.   This  file  contains the
    following information:

      Line  1: The actual text "Reply Header File"
      Line  2: The "From" field of the reply
      Line  3: The "To" field of the reply
      Line  4: The "Subject" field of the reply
      Line  5: The conference number where the message will be placed
      Line  6: The name of the conference
      Line  7: The reference number (0 if this is not a reply)
      Line  8: The private status, either TRUE or FALSE
      Line  9: SLMR's message text color
      Line 10: SLMR's quoted text color
      Line 11: SLMR's highlight color
      Line 12: SLMR's window border color
      Line 13: SLMR's message header background color
      Line 14: SLMR's message header text color
      Line 15: SLMR's warning window color
      Line 16: SLMR's help window color
      Line 17: SLMR's status line color

Substitute "OLX" for "SLMR" where appropriate; or look
up HEADER.DAT in the
OLX docs -- it might have changed a little. (I think there are more
definable colors in the message header in OLX.)
