Synopsis: From line handling incorrect in mail.local State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: peter State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 1 04:30:15 PST 1996 State-Changed-Why: This is actually intended behavior... The end-of-message marker is a blank line followed by "^From ".. ie: "\n\nFrom " So, if you have a message like this: (indented for example) foo bar baz From this I can see blah.. It should not be escaped because there is not a blank line. However: foo bar baz From this I can see blah... ...should be escaped as the mail system cannot distinguish the end-of-msg. The actual bug is in pine and elm's mailbox decoding. Perhaps a 'bug compatable' flag for mail.local is needed?
