This looks like some garbage I've been getting on the Unify
mailing list after it passes through apple.com!

FLAME ON
For some reason they're rewriting perfectly good "From:" lines
into something resembling a "Path:" header from news, breaking
valid FQDNs like "From: Bill Campbell <bill@camco.Celestial.COM>"
into garbage like the above.

Are they running under A/UX or something equally brain-damaged?

The postmaster@apple.com tells me that address like those above a
fine and should be accepted by my mailer :-)
FLAME OFF
