This works nicely.  I was thinking of doing it this way before I let the
error messages side-track me into thinking it was a MailBox issue.


Reference the $msg->date method mentioned in another message.  The docs 
don't say what the format is of the returned value.  Well it does say as a 
string.  :-)
   While looking around I also noticed the $msg->timestamp method.  What 
is the format of the returned value?

Of course I'm slowly remembering why I used the head object instead of 
the message object.  Since I'm parsing SPAM folders I didn't want to read 
the whole thing into memory just to get the From and Date.
   I am pulling size information -- for the user -- and setting proper 
dates etc. so the messages can be expunged after so many days.  Does the 
require having the whole message in memory?
