Re: mail in linux
You can ask the server (if IMAP) for part no. 0 of "HEADER.0" (approx.) and you'll
get your headers (there's a similar command for POP3). The headers themselves do
not indicate KLEZ mails and their variants, for one reason because KLEZ headers
often have innaccurate information about the actual parts of the message.
Furthermore, the headers we are talking here about are only the top level headers
which tell you nothing specific (and nothing at all as for deeper MIME levels)
about the message other than the main MIME part, if the main part is in fact 2
parts, you can learn that fact "multipart/alternative" for example, but that does
not tell you much.

That's "angle" as in geometry.
