This is normally no problem - at least for the backends I use -, as Gnus correctly rewrites this into a normal header (X-From-Line). But somehow (with procmail, perhaps even by using peculiar backends) one can trick Gnus to read an article with an initial From line. Is this strictly verboten anyway, or should `mail-header-extract' be changed to grok the From as a special case. Robbe -- Robert Bihlmeyer reads: Deutsch, English, MIME, Latin-1, NO SPAM!
