100 option produces a listing of the field bodies for header fields with
101 names matching the specified component, one per line.
102 The listing is numbered, starting at 1, if the
105 A tab character separates the number and the field body.
106 The field body is treated as if it is a file name, and only the final
107 path name component is listed.
108 The complete field body is listed if the
110 option is used, the contents of the text are ignored.
114 option removes header fields from messages.
115 The first header field whose name matches the component is deleted if
116 no other options are specified.
119 option is used in conjunction with the
121 option, the first header field whose name matches the component and
122 whose body matches the text is deleted.
