Description

Joe Sloan reports:

"There does seem to be one buglet in the digest. For any messages where the sender field is blank, it appears that the sender field from the last previous message with a non-blank sender field is used, which can lead to some consternation."

Basically, it looks like the variables need to be initialized within the loop, so that values from the previous iteration don't get improperly reused. Dealing with blank columns in the first place is another option, possibly filling them in with a placeholder, e.g. "(no subject supplied)" or "(no sender supplied)".
