Interesting problem here.  We are running Solaris 2.1 (a/k/a SunOS 5.1
a/k/a Sun's SVr4), and I've noticed a change in sendmail.  To better
integrate with the multimedia mailtool, sendmail makes sure there are
Content-Type and Content-Length headers in every message.  Since it
now *knows* the body length of a message, it has no need to prepend a
> to every line beginning with \nFrom.  So it doesn't.  The result is
that when my boss forwards a message to me, inc splits it into two
parts.

Has anybody else seen this and made the appropriate hacks?
