Your spelling looks good to me.  About the parsing of the AREA: keyword-to be  
honest, I know very, very little about it.  I've never yet figured out how to  
work with the .PKT format, but I may soon so I can write my own message stuff.

It's a mystery...I have about 50 packets to look at now, and there doesn't
seem to be any consistent delimeter where the headers end and the message
text truly begins. On some packets there is a double carriage return
between the last header and the first line of message text, in other
packets there's only a single carriage return.

Most of the packets (perhaps all, not sure yet) have a ^M^A sequence
between all the headers and then EITHER just a ^M before the text or a ^M^M
before the text. So....I *think* that a single ^M followed by anything
other than a ^A *may* work. But since I can't get preg_replace or
ereg_replace to work on the whole string, I have to read it and evaluate it
char by char. Slooooow business.

We'll see how it goes....

Jon
