Does anyone know the specifics of the record format (i.e. fields, positions
and lengths within the record) in the MAIL.MAI file?  I've used ANA/RMS/FDL
so know where the keys are, but so far haven't gotten much beyond that.  I'll
work it out by trial-and-error-and-experiment if I have to, but having the 
info handed to me is SO-o-o-o-o-o much easier!  (I haven't seen anything in
the manuals about this; if it's proprietary, and I figure it out "from
scratch" for nonprofit use, am I still "in the clear?"  I'm not planning to
do anything nasty, just want to have a couple of little utilities on hand
to summarize mail, pull up things such as "SELECT/FROM" (a handy feature
I always thought should be in Mail, but isn't) and so on.

Thanks in advance for info, pointers, etc.
