<grin> That's a little hard to interpret. I can assure you that DJB
is not my favorite person. Indeed, sometimes he tends pretty far in
the other direction. But my experience is that he's smart and that
his code is remarkably reliable and secure. In the case of parsing
received headers, I had pretty well come to the same conclusion he
did before coming across his opinion.

I'm pretty sure that it would be possible to extract the right
information something more than 90% of the time, but it would be a
hack that needed to follow a moving target. If someone wants to write
and maintain such a thing, I'll offer my sincere thanks since it
would be useful to me.

Regards,
Matt
