May be an idea to check if they can be safely removed when saving or if there are side-effects or places where they change the semantics of the file.

Maybe the author name was mangled before (I don't know the reason) and I just did not realize it. I'll have to check before the next commit. Does it work if you replace the "From:" with mi...@lyx.org? How about the content? OK to commit? Thanks, Günter
