   I've seen this when people use things like "deliver" to
   preprocess incoming mail.  Such programs need better emulate the
   real mail delivery program.

How about the SVR4 mailer?  Does it quote "From " lines?  It uses
a Content-Length: header to figure out where the message ends, right?
The original poster didn't say what MTA he's using.
