Use wc(1).

Or, alternatively:
	- Option '-t' change modification time

		$ zcat hack.gz | from -f - | wc -l
		47

Or, for that matter:

		$ zcat hack.gz | egrep '^From ' | wc -l

And `Content-Length' is a really idiotic AT&T-ism designed by people
who didn't understand mail; I would not bloat our programs by
attempting to support it.
