Hello:
I have recently made the observation that an email message won't fly
if I have an asterisk at the beginning of a line in the text body of
an email message prepared for sending with Arachne's email client.
I will get the "Mail Upload Aborted" error page, or Arachne will
"hang" until I click on "cancel". I have conducted some tests and
I have found that this result is reproducible on two different
machines running Arachne.
I have not yet conducted any tests to see if placing an asterisk at
the beginning of a line in the text body of an email message to be
sent by an alternative email client would cause similar problems.
I don't know if I have observed a bug in Arachne's email client.
Perhaps the placing of an asterisk at the beginning of a line in the
text body of an email message causes the message to be non-compliant
with the RFC. Maybe it is wrong to start a line beginning with an
asterisk when using any other email client as well.
Can anyone enlighten us on this?
