This particular message has the following header field:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
From: Arthur Alinovi <aalinovi@riseup.net>
Mime-Version: 1.0 (1.0)
Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2022 17:55:10 -0500

After copying all of my "ignore" lines from ~/Mail/mhl.headers to
~/Mail/mhl.format, they still show up.

Mr Paul Fox wonders if having the ignores lines broken up as I do will
work or if they should be one long line which he says is how he has it.

Thank you

Arthur
