  Comments: 

  Why "!(m.size<"137216")? Why not simply m.size>"137216" or
m.size>"137215"?

  Seems easier to understand to me. 

  Second: in the body it is either the english pair or the spanisch
pair, so 

  ((b="Hi! How are you?" & b="See you later. Thanks") |
   (b="Hola como estas?" & b="Nos vemos pronto, gracias"))

  seems to be more accurate. I think in an earlier post you had it
this way, too. 

  As to the "date:" header being not capitalized, I have observed it
too. Why the virus experts at Norton Antivirus Center or McAffee
don't report it, I don't know. Maybe they have not looked at it or
they think that the normal user doesn't see the headers anyway.
