Don't forget that this is news, so it's okay to put:
From at the start of a line here :-)
Note that it's "From " not "From: " (look in a mailbox file for proof).
Also, note that when KA9Q receives mail containing "From " at the start
of a line (case sensitive) it prepends a ">" to that line so that there
is no confusion. So if I were to mail this to you, you'd see the second
line of my first paragraph begin ">From " instead of "From ". [*]
Since it doesn't change ">From " to ">>From " this is not reversible, so
not only will you have >From in your mailbox, but pc-elm/snews will
display it as >From as well.
[*] It may be that KA9Q looks for a blank line prior to the "From ", I
can't remember, so my first paragraph may get through okay anyway.
Mark.
