after invoking mairix, the result(s) will display in the second line of
the header:  X-source-folder: <location>
the line is added by mairix.

the first header line is also added:
  From mairix at mairix Mon Jan  1 12:34:56 1970
and must be altered if one is recovering a missing post and adding it to
an mbox collection such as ~/mail/mutt

I use mbox and mairir (long time).
