"\nFrom " is consdiered to be a message separator. It's the job
of the mail delivery program to quote separators that occur in
the body of messages. By the time the mail reader get hold of
the message it is too late.
That's what I always thought, but I've noted at least two situations
where VM is doing interesting things after the MDA deals with
messages--the one I cited above, and another situation where
-stuff
gets turned into
- -stuff
I've only noticed the second situation where people have replied to my
messages. I can't seem to duplicate the problem (might just be a bad
mailer out there on our campus).
I've had the "From" problem happen twice in the last two days.
