Did anyone else get stung by the lack of a '>' in front of the 'From '
line in this included message?
I believed that the final delivery agent (in this case FreeBSD-2.5's
'mail.local' would take action to prevent such line getting into a
mailbox.
Or is my mail agent not supposed to recognise this line as a message
separator? (ELM 2.4ME+ PL38 (25) from a package).
