That's good :-) % And your regex will break on it too. For instance: % (from forwarding on a newsgroup post, some names changed to protect the % guilty) [snipped] Because of the single space before the day in each header, right? If that's the case note that I noted it and didn't guarantee it ;-) % % Mutt, I guess, outsmarts the mbox by reading Content-Length:, which you'd Ahhh... That would do it. You ought to try my C-L: strip suggestion to see if that's the case and how it breaks otherwise. I wonder if that's a compile-time option. That is, I wonder if my version supports it, too. Since I haven't told my MDA/LDA to do so, I don't think it's used in favor of ^>From_ when the messages arrive in either case, but we can try some pathological examples to find out... % pretty much have to do I guess. To me, it just seems like putting too % much trust in the LDA, whatever that may be, but... Then again, why not % trust? mbox is fragile as hell anyway, what's one more shaky assumption? % ;) *grin* % % -- % Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] % Unix Systems Administrator | [EMAIL PROTECTED] % Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ % % "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I % haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" Thanks again! :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
