The biggest problem isn't really your particular email client, it's procmail.

The fact that no one has been able to tackle this makes me think it's a pretty big issue somewhere. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vince LaMonica" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mitchell Marks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Tokio Kikuchi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 2:20 PM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: Example of bad line break in subject header
