XMail uses Maildir on Unix : http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man5/maildir.html why should it add a "From ..." line that would be added to the message by breaking the headers section ? the correct fix is the econv.c filter program not XMail. i'm just curious, how does ecartis plan to work with Windows MTAs that do not give a damn about MBOX ? how does it work with qmail ( that uses Maildir ) ? - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
