Of course he's right, because he restated what I have said from the
beginning.
sendmail has always been broken like this. And now that Outlook and
Netscape and Eudora and MH and every other piece-of-sh** MUA are
broken in a complementary way, every MTA ever written until the end of
time will need to be similarly broken.
I was thinking maybe Emacs+message-mode+smtpmail could provide a
non-broken MUA, but what would be the point, really, I guess.
