This package contains a re-implementation of the "from" program.
The traditional version just displays the message separators from a mailbox; depending on the situation, this can be unhelpful or misleading.
This version, on the other hand, parses each message header to extract the proper sender address, and the subject field, and displays both. Long fields are truncated, so that each message only takes up a single line of output.
