I've seen some stuff from Lars' new machine come through like that :-(.

What I like about sendmail 8.8 configuration is this:

Received: (from slist@localhost) by riker.miranova.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id MAA19791 for steve@miranova.com; Tue, 19 Nov 1996 12:04:45 -0800
 ...
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by riker.miranova.com id LAA18920

That's the way I prefer to see this problem solved :-).

They are indeed valid, we just disagree on where it should be done.
