Show us a sample of your input.  Make sure it includes the worst possible
cases, not just the easy ones.  Make sure it is NOT MODIFIED in any
way by your mail user agent.  (This may mean attaching it as a file.)

If the input lines are consistent, 3-5 lines should be enough.  If there's
a lot of variance in the formatting, you may need more, but probably
not more than 15-20 lines.
