There's nothing strange about this. VM displays only headers by default and the UUCP From line is not a header. If there was no From header VM could not display it, so the display began with the next availble selected header. > This is confusing enough as it is, but it has already been discussed. > > However, I recently received a letter with no From: line and a From line > that had a continuation on the next line. The visible part of the > buffer began with the continuation of the From line, which was > unintelligible; I thought I had somehow tickled the narrow-toregion bug. I suppose I could make VM smarter about dealing with this crud, But you never get anythign fixed by endlessly tolerating broken and misconfigured systems.
