I went with "pseudoheader" because people confused by this are confused
because they think it _is_ a header, after all in an mbox file it's
always the first thing.
I can see that that elevates its status.
This then?
The draft file is expected to contain just an RFC822 email:
headers and a body. Although it is not an mbox file, if an mbox "From
" line is present, it will be silently discarded.
I'll figure out how to do a *roff nonbreaking space; I used to know...
