I did not see where in RFC 2822 it specifies that a user can add a Sender header when he feels like it, or omit it if he does not care about it. | Right. But that happens, and all Gnus can do about it is omit | Sender. Do you think the harm from an absent Sender is greater than | the harm from a wrong Sender? Why? I have always maintained that following standards is superior to catering to broken software, because catering to brokenness spawns more brokenness. I have also always maintained that fixing broken software is superior to working around the broken parts. -- Rat \ Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ which, if exposed due to rupture, should PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.
