Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's Python unit-test structure and the behavior described in the linked bug, incubator-ponymail-foal issue 2. Add tests showing correct handling of data read from files, including "From " lines in headers and message bodies; done means these cases are covered and regressions are detectable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There are no tests to show that data read from files is correctly handled.

For example, the bug https://github.com/apache/incubator-ponymail-foal/issues/2 was found by accident rather than by a suitable test.

Also need to show that "From " lines are correctly handled in headers and in message bodies
