Subject: [9fans] 'From' in outgoing mail considered harmful
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 09:51:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a5ad858ccf893c9c771d46d785553a5e@hamnavoe.demon.co.uk> (raw)

When acme Mail saves a copy of sent mail in /mail/box/$user/outgoing, it doesn't
escape message lines beginning with 'From', as for example upas/send does.
This causes considerable confusion when trying to read the outgoing mailbox.
