Thank you to all for every response! I will spend time to test and investigate.

I wonder if the solutions that rely on regex match of "From:" are
robust. Is it safe to use? Or there is fear that e.g. a line in body
of message begins with From: it could match? I suppose I should test.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Xu
