I've been experiencing an odd problem with sendmail in Epoch 4.0p2 that I
didn't have with Epoch 3.2. I use epoch to send most of my mail, and I
have mail-archive-file-name set non-nil (to the name of a file in fact) in
order to retain copies of all messages I send. Since installing 4.0p2,
outgoing messages continue to be put into the specified file, but in a
format that (rmail-convert-to-babyl-format) doesn't recognize as Unix mail
messages. The result is that if I examine my outgoing-messages file using
rmail-input, all messages sent using 4.0p2 appear to be concatenated
together as a single long message.
The only difference between the old and new headers that I can see appears
to be the addition of a time zone field. If no one else has encountered
this problem, I'll look more closely and see if I can find out exactly what's
going on.
Old (3.2) format message header:
