What MUAs generate the MFT header? I know mutt does, and now oort does. I believe that qmail can generate the header for you automatically as well. If someone's MFT header is wrong, perhaps you should tell them since they're configuration is probably broken. Another thing to note is this: how do you know if it's broken? Perhaps the person who set it wanted it that way? ttyl, -- Josh Huber
